Worried lady

I had my stitches out on the 19th and I woke in the night with blood on my pillow. It has been bleeding since. Think a scab or something has lifted and that's what's caused the bleed. Pls can anyone tell me if this means I will get an infection and have to have more skull removed! 😥😥

Unlikely - unless you are prone to infection for some reason? The natural action of clotting will prevent infection entering the wound (that is why scabs form). There wouldn't be a need to have more skull removed in amy case - they would just treat the infection.

You can always apply some antiseptic cream or similar to the wound if you are really worried but as long as you keep a wound clean it really isn't necessary (and it will sting like billy-oh!)

Ha ha ha Thank you. I'm just Worried as I've had nothing but had luck. Went basildon hospital in the end and they did Jack 💩 and this morning it's bleeding a little again. How will it heal if it keeps bleeding....
