Scar - a few questions?
Posted , 6 users are following.
Hi everyone, I know there has been lots of posts about scars but I can't find any of them!
I'm now 6.5 weeks post-op & over the last few days my scar (which so far I'm quite proud of)! has turned a darker shade of red & has a very light rash (only small) at one end. I've been trying to find some online resource but all I can find is info about keloid scars & it most definitely isn't that. Anyone else had a change in colour? X

Hi Sarah, hope you are getting on ok. No, I haven't been in the sun, definitely not with my backside out! X

Hi Fernlady ,
I noticed the same with both my scars ... first it looked good, thin line, but as time went on the line got darker and deeper .... 2 visible zippers now ...
during the healing process sometimes I felt some stabbing or pulling - I don't like the feel of them but a little massage around the scar helps.
hope you are doing good otherwise
big warm hug
renee

Hi there,
I'm 10 weeks post op now and my scar has turned a dark shade of red. I think its normal. I had dissolvable stitches internally, the skin was glued togther. When I saw my consultant, he said that as the stitches disolved I may get a red rash around the wound which was normal. I didnt experience anything though. So it might be that? If your worried though, its probably best to ask.
David.

Thanks David. I had staples & haven't had any problems at all. It just looks a bit different x

Maybe it's just the next stage ? I guess the outside heals up quickly but who knows how long it takes for the inside - my kegs are quite chunky!!! That's an awful lot of healing to take place !!!!
