When you get stiches is the skin around it suppose to turn black?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Stitches in the skin: It is not normal for the skin to turn black around a wound that has been stitched together. This could be a sign of skin necrosis, a complication after skin surgery. If the skin is black, you should see your doctor or surgeon to have the wound evaluated.
