Incision area discolored. (Picture)

So i noticed one of my incisions the area around it is discolored. The rest are fine. Anyone have any info on their experience? No pain, no smell, nothing. My follow up is on Monday.

I think it’s just bruising too. They do a lot of pushing & prodding at those sites. They’ll continue to fade & have colour change. It looks like you’re healing well.

They look really good. No odd or unusual discoloration.

Maybe it's the Dermabond glue highlighting the bruising and making it appear darker? I'm not sure, but it looks like a nicely healing incision to me.

That looks about the same as mine did. I think you are fine.
