Pimple or broken stitches? (Photo)

January 29, 2018
Asked By:niptuckme in California

I had a neck lift and this is the chin incision 6 wks post op. Overnight a few weeks ago (a week after stitches were removed) it seemed to develop a bump that keeps bleeding and scabbing over - repeatedly. I think it’s a pimple but my husband is worried it’s the stitches opening. I go for a follow up this week but I just wanted opinions from someone who can tell by looking to alleviate my fears.
