Asked By:IMari21 in Orlando, FL

The nurse practitioner removed a few stitches 2 weeks ago. She did leave a small opening on my right breast after she removed the stitches but it healed after about a week. But now that same area has opened up & is discharging which looks like pus. After inspecting the area I found another stitch wanting to come out. I was able to cut the stitch & disinfected the area. Will this cause any issues with scarring & will it heal ok?
