A member asked:

I have a tiny bump under the skin. it's about a whole fingertip length away from my csection scar. i'm not sure what it is or if i should be worried?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Could be scar: Could be a suture remnant, if within 6 months, some sutures could still be absorbing, if longer than 6 months, scar tissue, or suture granuloma, or endometriosis, see your doctor to be sure.
