A member asked:
I just had atitches removed after having surgery on my thumb yesterday . it looks like there is a little opening in the surgical area.

Show your incision: I am assuming you had something excised and after removing sutures you see an opening? If wound is dry, with no discharge or fluid oozing out, no redness around, and not much pain, then your wound is probably fine. if in doubt, show a doctor/ provider.
