Has anyone's incisions opened up?



Recommended Posts

This morning I was getting ready for work, and I looked down and was bleeding. Three of my incisions have all healed, and the last two which were the bigger ones had hard scabs on them. The bleeding came from underneath the scab and I could see a hole!. Dr said to just put neosporin on it and keep it dry.

Anyone else had this happen if so how long will it take to heal?

Had two of my small incisions open slightly. I was kinda expecting that knowing that fat does not have a good blood supply. I just kept mine clean, dry and covered. Healed (granulated) in less than 2 weeks.

Something similar, it was like I strained getting out of bed and the largest incision, the one by my belly button, opened up a little. It refused to heal, the others were fine but this one had 'yuck' around it for ages, or so it seemed. The doctor had me put triple antibiotic ointment on it several times a day and keep it dry. So I had to make sure I patted it dry after showering and all that jazz. It took a couple of months I think, I'm not sure, but it was a while. It did heal and all was well eventually.
