Asked By:CPKMMABS in Huntington Beach, CA

Two weeks post op, I had several spitting stitches. I was fine with that, but then developed a sore that opened up on my suture line that spit several stitches. Six weeks in, I have another wound that has opened, but does not appear to have stitches showing. I am concerned about infection and the possibility of the whole suture line opening up.
