A member asked:
I had stitches taken out of my hand a week ago from a dog bite and now it's pink around the wound. it's healing but pink. is this normal?

Absolutely: The pink is new skin growth. It's more sun sensitive, so use sunscreen on the area when out in the sun this summer.

Can be normal: If the site continue to remain pink or the area increases in size or you have any other signs of an infection have it looked at.
