A member asked:

Is it normal for the groin area to grow back an inguinal hernia after you just had surgery?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Most likely: Small amount of blood collected under skin , usually get absorbed and disappear in few wks , speak to your surgeon and go for POST OP follow up .
