Lump On Incision Site

[rpil003 101]

On one of my incisions the main one on the left side, I feel a hard mass underneath it, is this normal? It doesn't hurt at all. Just wondering, I had my post op app and forgot to ask :/

Scar tissue can develop and will feel like a hard mass. I massage mine with Vitamin E. the massage loosens the tissue and prevents adhesion and the Vitamin e is great for helping reduce Apperance of scars.

As long as it is not growing, does not hurt, has no change in color etc it is likely scar tissue. Something to bring up though

Definitely call your doctor and ask. There is no harm in it but there could be harm in it if you don't ask.

Coming from a gal who had an infection in that same site. I'm sure glad I asked.

True... When you have surgery anything you feel weird about ask. If I never would had call my doctor & had endoscopy my stomach would still be closed & I would end up in the hospital for vomiting non stop all day. Listen to your body. Better Safe then sorry.
