Hello, I have this spot on the end of the incision that was there when i removed the tape this week (it came off in the shower). I have left it alone this week and have been washing it with antibacterial soap in the shower. Today when I reached to hug someone some blood came out of the hole and stained my shirt. It was not an alarming amount but just a few drips. Now I'm paranoid. Does this look normal? Anything I should do until I have my follow up on Thursday?
Answer: Is this area healing ok Thank you for your recent question and photo! Based on the photo it seems to be an area that could possibly have a suture that is not dissolving properly. I would recommend keeping the area clean with soap and water and contacting your surgeon to have the area evaluated. Best of luck!

Answer: Hole at the end of breast incision Dear Collette337,Thank you for your question. There may be a slight separation of your incision; the small amount of drainage is not a problem. You could keep a bit of antibiotic ointment and gauze over it ubtil you are seen. I do recommend that you speak to your surgeon's office; send then a few photos. It does not appear to be a big problem but I would have it evaluated. Hope this helps & good luck.James Sheridan, MD
