Asked By:dt0512 in Norwich, GB

5weeks post op I noticed a small hole. I went to my Nurse and she dressed it cleaned it and said it was normal and that the end stitch has risen to the top and it would heal on it's own. 7weeks post op it's double in size, It is painful, and the dressing is regularly covered in a yellow/green smelly puss like substance. It hurts, it's red and I'm worried about the scar I will be left with as it's not closing? I love 3hours away from my PS and hospital so what should I do??
