Red hard bump, cyst like below incision



Recommended Posts

I don’t have a medical background so I can’t tell you, but if something is hurting, warm to the touch and getting redder I would see a doctor about it ASAP! That’s some stuff my surgeon told me to immediately contact him about if I noticed it.
Do have to say I am located in Western Europe (socialised healthcare) so if you are located in the US I don’t know how quick doctors/patients contact each other about things. This does seem serious to me but I would always err on the side of caution…
Please take very good care of yourself and hope you feel better soon!

call your clinic. I'm not a medical person, either, but those are common symptoms of an infection.

I had a huge, larger than the size of an egg, under my largest incision. It stuck out really far when I laid down. I had it checked out, and the surgeon really pushed on it super hard and was trying to move it left, right, up, down for quite awhile and 😂 almost knocking me over. He didn't seem so concerned about it. All my incisions are barely visible now, including that one. It took a few weeks and now it is a small hard bump (half the size of my thumb), about 1/4 of the original size. Hope all goes well with your visit.

I have a large red bump below my incision. I have noticed it has been getting redder and bigger. It is warm to the touch and hurts really bad. It reminds me of a cyst. Should I be concerned or is this normal? 20210901_232146.jpg

My Dr said it was hematoma. It is looking a lot better and not hurting as much. Thanks for asking :)

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
