Stitch infection 7 Months post-op?

Thank you for your question and photograph.  Your photograph does not indicate infection but rather normal scar healing.  Scars will mature and become less red up to a full year post surgery.  Increased redness, swelling or pain should be evaluated.  Best of luck.

Dear MommyBabies44,Thank you for your question. It is best to follow up with your operating surgeon, since they are the expert when it comes to your care. You should have them take a good look at the area in person. It could be a stitch that they can then remove, or that area of your scar is healing in a different way than the rest of it... either way they will be able to suggest treatments for you. Best of luck!

Hello,Thank you for the question and photo. A steroid injection may be appropriate but you should be assessed in person by your Plastic Surgeon to determine best treatment.Take care

Hi there, Thank you for your question. If you are having new redness, let your surgeon know. It is always best to be seen by your surgeon when you have a concern. You may have a hypertrophic scar which can be treated with a steroid injection.Best, realdrsix

Best bet is to go back to your surgeon for a re evaluation. They know what types of sutures they inserted and your course to this point. They may deem it appropriate to inject the scar with a steroid to help soften it if they think it is thickened scar tissue only and not an extruding suture from beneath the skin.
