Probably: It may be the dressing that was placed at the donor site, or the stitches. It could also be a sign of infection. It would be best for you to see whoever did the surgery and have them explain what it is for your benefit.

Go Back: Multiple possibilities so it's best you phone the individual that performed the procedure and get seen sooner rather than later. May only be local inflammation but infection and even potential graft rejection cannot be dismissed.
