Wounds: Best for you to get the area evaluated if you see a hole starting to form where a previous wound was or previous surgery, etc. At times, these areas may be more at risk (than normal skin) or acquiring fistula formation. Best wishes.

Get evaluated: Depending on how long ago the incision was made, this could be inside normal recovery or a problem. Okay to get this wound evaluated. Okay to call your surgery team or your regular doctor. Be well.
