I had full TT on 12/28/10. Very happy with results so far, except at 2 1/2 wks. post op noticed small (smaller than quater)area at incision line at groin that was red puffy and slightly swollen. Visit to PS, where he said it wasn't seroma or infectio,but reaction to the sutures dissolving.Needle aspiration produced bloody fluid. Since,same area has opened spontaneously and drained red/orange fluid. No strong odor.PS prescribed Keflex as precaution.Quilting sutures used no drains.Is this normal?
