Asked By:jeremiah123 in Tampa, FL

I have had this one spot on my TT incision that at about 3 wks started oozing PS said spitting suture was to blame and they tried to get suture out but it was to deep so he said cover it and put ointment on it which I have been doing for 4 weeks it's recently formed a blister he saw it yesterday and said skin healing over it but poked it to open it back up and it was bleeding but he said that’s good. Will this ever heal? Will my body absorb it? Or spit it out? I really worry about it! Thank you!
