Bleeding from one of the stitches

[Drea24]

Hi all, it’s day 11 post cir and I’m noticing that my stitches have tightened up and are starting to dissolve but there is one on the left top side to that hurts, bleeds from time to time and still looks the same length it did when I first got it Should I be worried?

You may support incision line with skin adhesive tape (like Micropore). Spread a bit petroleum jelly on incision line, so the tape is easier to loosen.

Nothing to worry. As the stitches come loose they might bleed in little amounts from time to time. I bled small amounts uptill the end of the third week post op. Lenght wise they can drop off at any variable lengths at any time post op after a week or so . Just keep the area dry and clean . If you have heavy bleeds or constant oozing of blood , get it checked . All the best !
