Asked By:jesm1029 in Connecticut, CT

Can this resolve on it's own or will I have to get it removed? I seen my doctor yesterday and he clipped a small one that was sticking above my suture line in another location and the next day my skin was closed. However we didn't see this one or it just poked through today and it's causing a small hole. I'm just concerned it's going to get bigger before I see him in 3 weeks. I'm 4 weeks post op tummy tuck.
