A member asked:
Is it normal for a scar to keep randomly opening up with blisters and oozing out pus 8 months after surgery? feels like stitches are in there
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not Normal: This is abnormal and should be evaluated by your surgeon. Retained stitches/foreign object is a possibility...
