Answer: Suture abscess I recommend contacting your surgeon for an appointment. If it is a suture abscess, it is treated typically in the office and may require some minor home care. Your surgeon will be able to tell you more after an examination.

Answer: Suture granuloma Do you have pain, and fever? Does the area feel warm and full? You may need drainage if an abscess is present or excision of the suture granulona. Return to your surgeon. Best wishes.
