Discharge On Cut

3 Replies

It's been 8 days and it's still not recovered.. (it usually takes just a week to recover). The shaft has some holes (found 2 pin holes) due to i think the stitches being loosened but not dissolving.

I found some discharge on the left side of the cut which has many stitches and at the right, the discharge's solidifying. I'm very worried and it itches every day. Should i go see a doctor now? I am also concerned about the holes and stitching..

I'll just update if something goes on.

In what world does it take 8 days to recover? No offence intended, but it took longer than that for me... and I had NO complications. Add on complications, and recovery would be even longer. I think you're putting too much pressure on yourself man.

If you're worried I'd go see the doctor. However, I think all my stitches fell out around the 2 week mark. There were small holes where the stitches were, but they healed over after a couple days.

In my country, it usually takes one week to recover.

Week to recover from what? Some discharge is part of healing, the fact that it itches is a sign of it healing.

Not what you're looking for?
