5 days post-op extended TT: What is this burning sensation in my groin? (photos)

March 5, 2017
Asked By:ahunter06 in Columbus, OH

I had an extended tummy tuck with lips 5 days ago. I'm feeling great and have minimal pain with the exception of a burning sensation in my groin in the right side where the top of my thigh meets the groin. It is not muscular, the burning is on my skin like someone scratched a sunburn. It's an intermittent pain and I can't find the exact trigger but I have found when I rearrange my clothing/drains/binder it goes away regardless of whether something was touching the area or not. Any ideas?
