Should I be concerned? Incisions...

Two of my incisions keep opening. Morning they're sealed then by afternoon they're open.

No pain, no fever. They're not warm to the touch or sore. They're a little weepy but it's not thick like pus. My surgery was almost a month ago.

Should I be concerned??

    I scrubbed it this morning. I didn't vomit! It looks awful though. The "white" colored skin inside the wound made me gag. Now it's covered in gauze. ?

UPDATE: Made an appointment today and saw my surgeon's assistant for my incisions. I always thought they were sealed via a glue. Turns out they were dissolvable stitches. Which did not dissolve and apparently I'm a bit allergic to like I am to adhesives. So she numbed me up and debrided the bejesus out of my open wounds. I go back next week and hopefully see some major improvements. The only good news is that they were not infected, just irritated. Woot!




I'm glad to hear that there is no infection and now you will likely be on the mend!!

Thanks, they still gross me out. Have another appointment tomorrow. Hopefully they tell me that they think they're getting better.


Congratulations on finding out what was going on and good luck!!!!

One has finally scanned over. The big one on the left side I still have covered, I shower and debride. The doc said it will take weeks. That it won’t look like much is happening then suddenly it will look closed up. I guess if I had to have a complication of sorts this would be the better one to have...

Me too, can’t wait for it to be over. I’d love to soak in a tub!
