It about 5mths post op -healed fine -now has reopened and leaks minimal fluid -scabs over but wont heal or get smaller-no smell ,itch or pain. The first scab came off but its red underneath- slight bleeding. Could this be a hair or cancer even?

Answer: See your surgeon I recommend you see your surgeon as soon as you can to have this resolved. By this time, your incisions should have healed closed (although the resulting scar can take about a year to mature).

Answer: Scalp scar opened 5 months after surgery It is definitely not normal for a wound to re-open 5 months after surgery. You should contact the surgeon who performed your facelift to be evaluated and determine the cause. It is possible it could be an ingrown hair, as you mentioned, but there could be other causes as well.
