TT 7 weeks ago, stitch spitting? (Photo)

August 24, 2016
Asked By:bigmumma86 in Australia, AU

Had an extended TT 7 weeks ago, healing has been fine. Ive had 4 stitches spit with no complications. Is this little dark spot on my incision a deep stitch trying to spit? Its not open, or painful. Theres a small lump under this mark. No pain or temperature. Surgeon is overseas currently out of contact.
