A member asked:
Will my c section incision open up now 4 weeks pp due to a tiny white dissolvable staple poking through on the right side from a tiny hole?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
NO: This incision should not open up. But it would be best to check with the OB, they may be able to just remove the object(staple not white) This is prob a suture, and can be removed in the office.
