Answer: Wash the area and keep clean. The body will heal this, but be conscious of how much exertion you are doing. Inform your surgeon. An opening usually is initially concerning to the patient but usually takes care of itself.

Answer: Stitch popped If one stitch opened up, I would have my patient clean the area with soap and water and put some triple antibiotic ointment on it. You should inform your surgeon too.
