    Hey guys and gals,

    Long time reader, first time poster.

    I have had a whirlwind few months which started with the usual horrific pain, a visit to the GP, hospital and finally surgeon.

    I had the open wound procedure on 19/0612 and have had the daily packing done by my other half until last week when the wound was fully closed (could not fit any packing into it). Everything I thought was great. No pain, no leakage etc etc

    Yesterday I had a look and have no noticed three TINY little holes on the actual scar (it is fully closed now).

    I dabbed it with a tissue and found tiny little blood stains on the tissue.

    It’s not painful or leaking onto clothes at all.

    Is it what I think it is???????????

    Booked to see surgeon in 8 days time. He couldn’t see me earlier.

    Hey there,
    Don't freak out yet. I have had the same thing happen. My wound was closed but then a week later a couple of holes opened up towards the bottom. I freaked at first, but then realized that it may just be the wound opening back up a bit. So put some SilverCel dressing back there for a few days and sure enough, they closed back up. I see my surgeon in 2 weeks so hopefully I will get a better answer. But it could definitely just be your wound opening back up some.
