What is going on here? Please help. It does not hurt just small burning sensation sometimes. It started out like the photo with the red circle, few days after it was a hole. I have gotten mixed advice's, that is nothing and will heal by it self if I care about it, and the other is that it is serious.

Answer: 3 weeks post op spitting stitch Thank you for your question and photograph. Your photograph and description indicate that you have what is referred to as a "spitting stitch" which is common and will heal on its own. My advice is to keep the area clean and dry and follow up with your plastic surgeon. Best of luck.

Answer: Stitch abscesses are common after surgery It appears as though you have a stitch abscess which is a stitch that didn't dissolve. I recommend Neosporin and a bandaid. Please have your plastic surgeon take a look to be on the safe side.
