rhimair
Im three weeks post op tomorrow and my right breast is healing perfectly and completely sealed over (375over). However i have just come out of the shower and scratched under my left breast (which has a stitch sticking out) and i must of peeld a scab, now it's bleeding, just a drop. Should i be concerned. Moreover should i be concerened that there is still a stitch sticking out after 3 weeks. The hole is about 2mm, and the rest of the incision has heeled well.
