Stitch abscess? I am 4 months post op from tummy tuck. (Photo)

Dear Jenisadress,
I'm sure there will be a general consensus/opinion here is the best thing to do is schedule a follow up visit with your PS for evaluation. You will need appropriate wound care for this issue.  Good luck and hope this helps! 

Presuming this is a dissolvable stitch this will dissolve but I would see your PS who will know what stitches have been used and whether it is worth trying to remove the stitch. 

Ouch. This looks rather typical for a suture reaction/infection. For this to resolve rabidly, you should see your surgeon to have the stitch removed. It is simple in office.Try to go today.

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.

Best to return to see your surgeon fr treatment of suture removal and silver nitrate therapy. Or go see Urgent care. This is typical stitch 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.

Suture abscess are not uncommon but when they do occur they should be treated in the office.  I would suggest you see your surgeon for treatment as there may be residual suture material in the wound that should be removed.
