Nicolanz 1,484 Posted March 25, 2013 Mine did the same thing. The scar is a line with a dime sized circle in the middle I didn't go to a doctor for it though, just kept is clean and it took about a month to heal. There were no signs of infection. 3 ElaineB, donewithdieting and HopeFaith reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ms.AntiBand 2,984 Posted March 25, 2013 My drain incision was a gaping hole and it looked like it needed t least a butterfly strip, but I just let it heal and it's great. 1 HopeFaith reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
taurabird 142 Posted March 25, 2013 You should go to a pharmacy and buy Steristrips to close the hole back up if it is gaping open that much. That will keep the edges together. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

donewithdieting 44 Posted March 26, 2013 I was going to write what your doctor says. When we have a puncture wound in fat there is no "muscle" to hold together. It is common for them to open up but they will heal from the inside out (known as granulating). Just keep dry and covered loosely esp at waist area.

gelen's_change 157 Posted March 26, 2013 You should go to a pharmacy and buy Steristrips to close the hole back up if it is gaping open that much. That will keep the edges together. I agree but i think you should flush it with hydrogen peroxide wait for it to dry and then put the strips. My biggest scar opened a lil and i did that and two days later it healed. I hope it gets better soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

donewithdieting 44 Posted March 28, 2013 We are fortunate we have to eat Protein, which is a healer. They should close fully in about 2 weeks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
