A member asked:
After having surgery for my tendon in my pinkie, there is a small lumpy spot on where the doctors cut into my finger. what is causing the lump?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
This could be: Scar tissue. Usually manipulation of the scar resolves or minimizes the presentation. It could also be part of the suture used to close the wound, if intra dermis suture was used.
