Darkness on boob above wound. What does it mean? Will it go away? (photos)

May 13, 2019
Asked By:VML13 in Altoona, PA

My Dr. doesnt seem as concerned as i am with my healing and the issues i am having. Aside from the huge wound opening i noticed darkness on the skin above. What does this mean? Will it ever go away? My Dr. has recommended i keep hydrocolloid bandaids on the wound.
