4 Weeks Post-op Tummy Tuck, Dark, Hard Area on Incision Line, Normal? (photo)

inflag
I am 4 weeks post-op tummy tuck and when the drsg was removed by the doc I had this hard, dark area on the incsion line. It is pain- free (well numb and hard) but not painful to the touch. It was draining a small amt of serosang drainage, that has stoppped. The doc said just to keep it covered with drsg changes everyday. Is this approp. plan of care for this. My doc office is 2 hrs drive from were I live which really sucks...
