A member asked:
I had lap appendectomy two weeks ago my incision is healed but my incision has a bump under it??
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Post op appendectomy: If the 'bump' is not red, painful or oozing fluid then its probably just some scar tissue around a stitch under the skin. Some scarring is normal and usually gets a bit better over time. Obviously you should go back to the surgeon and have it examined.
