incision pain 7 weeks out

[SparkleCat 521]

I am having some pain and swelling in 2 of My incisions. I never had any pain prior but now they are really sore. I do notice a couple of stitches coming out of both of these incisions than either haven't dissolved or aren't going to.

I don't think it's bad enough to go to the doctor so I thought I would test all of you experts . Anyone else experienced this?

Sorry for the gross photo! But it may help plus maybe some can see what seven week incisions look like.

That's a long time to have redness.... I had sutures poking out up to 2 wks and I read to tug them and see if they would come out and if they didn't to pull them tight and cut them close to skin so that's what I did! I told the PA and she said that was exactly what she would have done!

That is very red for 7 weeks! Mine were completely heeled by 2 weeks!

I know everyone is different. But I think u should ask your doc to look.

That's kind of what worries me. I Had a friend who had an appendectomy one week before my surgery and her scars are completely healed, you can't even see them.

Just sent an email to the surgeons office

I have been having a weird pain in/on (?) one of my suture scars? This is almost a year out? Almost feels like a slight burn?

Called the PA...she put me on antibiotics just in case....didn't have to in thank goodness!

My incision took about that long to heal. It even leaked Fluid for about the last 2.5 weeks. I had no infection. I think it was a stitch. Dr said to just continue to put peroxide on it so thats what I did. It was a pain in the butt but Ive seen worse!!

Mine are keloid scars at 7 weeks. They get itchy and sometimes sting but it's the way my skin goes after any op. I'd be a bit concerned about yours though, there is a lot of redness beyond the scar line which usually means an infection. Try an anti bacterial cream or hydrogen peroxide for a few days. Go see a doctor if still red, that'd be my advice. Hope they get better soon.

Has anyone out there got keloid scarring skin too? Sux!
