Port Incision Question

[MsButterKup23 1]

I am a little over 3 months out. All of my incisions have been closed since about 3-4 weeks out. I had a c-section in Oct. 2004 and didn't have this problem.

Every now and then I have a pain around my port site, I figured it was just nerves growing back but in the past day or two I have noticed black dots appearing in the line of my incision. Sunday I went to a car show and was hurting most of the day. I know not to sunbath an incision during the first year even though it was sunny I naturally had my shirt on so it's not a sunburn.

Kinda hard to describe I know...

I also had one incision that had a black dot on it.. it was a big black dot, well big enough to cover half the incision.. Im not sure if it is the same thing.. but 7months out now it is starting to fade. You might want to call your Dr. and just ask. There are also a lot of nurses here that might be able to help, I would also I like to know what it is.

Thanks,

Hopefully someone will know what it is.

I had the port pain off and on, as I think most do, during the healing process, but I never saw any black dots. Like Trish said, might want to phone the doctors office and be sure all is well.

It could be thread from your internal stitches. Sometimes it doesn't disolve all the way. The thread my surgeon used was clear but when I had a lump removed from my breast a few years ago, they used Navy blue-ish thread and a few come to the surface and looked pretty weird.

I know that the threads he used were also clear as a couple of them were sticking out of my incisions.

I'm not too worried about it just thought it was weird enough to mention.
