Graphic warning! Is it supposed to look like this?

It has been itching a lot, I know itching is a sign of healing... but it has been elevated and I can't help that the pants I wear basically rubs against it a bit.

I know the whole "Wait and call your doctor." But I have anxiety. That one was oozing on surgery day, though I was told that it is normal. I got dissolvable stitches and The purple skin glue.

This one, is on my right side. I see a dark yellow to it but I don't know if that is also normal. The one I am talking about now is the small incision.

Do they look okay? [emoji27]

Ummmm nope. Call the surgeon. I never had that


Try not to worry it could be anything especially since your scratched then a lot. I know it's very hard but try not to scratch them. Just give them a ring and let them know what's going on. You will be fine Hun. Good vibes and positive thoughts.

The thing is, I just got off my parent's insurance so I don't have any insurance at the moment. I just sent my doctor a message with pictures I just put up. Hopefully I will hear back from him soon.


Are you self funded? I was self funded as well and all my appointments and visits with the surgeon are covered under that for up to 2 years after surgery. You might want to look at all your paperwork to check. Don't fret hun. Hopefully you will hear back from the surgeon soon. Positive vibes to you.

This should be covered as a post op procedure. I had a complication after surgery once and it was covered as post op. Call your doctor and don't worry. He will fix it.

I messaged my doctor and sent him pictures already. It is just too early in the morning for responses right now. My nephew is asleep and I don't want to risk waking him. (He is two years old.) I don't have the quietest voice when on the phone.

I found out from a nurse that the incisions look good, just drainage trapped behind it from the purple glue. Was told to give it a light squeeze to get the drainage out.


Great! I'm glad it nothing more serious!
