Asked By:SweetBetty in MB, Canada

I’m 6wks post-op from my TT. Everything was looking and healing fine at 4wks. 5wks a small area along my TT incision appeared to open but it wasn’t a concern. Then at 6wks dramatically changed. I emailed my PS with some pics and he said it was something to do with a dissolving stitch. To apply polysporin twice a day and bandage it. Since Sunday it has become even larger. My question is this typically something that get worse before it gets better?
