Inflammation (confirmed that there is no infection) 7 months after surgery

Asked By:LunaJasreg in Kilsby, England, United Kingdom
I recently (around 7 months ago) had surgery to remove excess skin from one of my arms. The incision was stitched with a layer of internal stitches (I was told there were complications meaning internal stitches had to be used as well as external ones.) The incision healed over with scar tissue, as expected, but has now started to repeatedly blister, and when the blister bursts it results in a crater-like appearance with a lot of thick discharge. My local doctors are puzzled about what’s wrong.
