I had a minor procedure yesterday involving a 2.5" cut. When I changed the dressing this morning I was horrified to find the roughest looking suturing I have ever seen. The edges of the skin are not neat but puckered and I think I will end up with a Frankenstein scar. Can anything be done?
good news mrs.o, but seriously is this the state of the NHS when a patient has to return to hospital to have bad suturing redone ? which they ( the patient ) knew was a mess ? disgraceful :(
Good for you mrs.o.................years ago I had an op on my knee but couldn't see the sutures as my leg was in pot for 6 weeks following the op. When all was revealed the stitching had been an absolute mess and I was left with a dreadful seven inch long scar.
I've used bio oil fluff on other small scars but unfortunately it doesn't seem to help with the one on my leg. It shows up that much I used to get sick of people telling me I'd laddered my tights when it was actually the bloody scar.
