9 months post-op - What's going on with this heat-induced discoloration after my TT? (photos)

Asked By:mcad in 64086

I had a TT with muscle repair about 9 months ago. On a few occasions when I've been hot, my midline developed strange discoloration. It looks almost like deep bruising. It goes away when I cool down and it doesn't pop up every time I'm hot. It's not painful. I still have mild discomfort when I flex or use my abdominal muscles but nothing unexpected and consistently improving over time. Have you ever seen this? Do you know what caused it? Is it anything I should be worried about?
