Two of the absorbable stitches gradually rose up to the top of my incision 8-10 weeks post op after most of the incision had healed, and formed a tiny blister, then I could see some white and the stitch. The first time it happened, my PT knew what it was and removed the bit of suture with a suture removal tweezer. There wasn't any redness, a little bleeding and it cleared up and healed. Keep aware for any signs of infection and ask your doctor if in doubt.

Let the air get to it and it will soon dry up.

You normally aren't cut to the bone so obviously this is different than a little cut. 4 weeks and the incision all but completely healed is about normal. Don't apply anything to the incision until this last little bit is healed completely. The last thing you want is an infection

I still have some deep scab left at the very top of my scar. I have been told to use moisturiser with Vitmin E oil. Keep an eye out for any infection.
Good luck with your recovery
