Lump near incision?

by Katiebrad 24th December 2013, 12:18 pm

Just got out the bath was bio oiling my scars and on the right one there is a little lump that feels like a hard pea? It's night underneath where my scar is pretty sure it wasnt there before as I moisturise everyday and not felt it before.

Any ideas what it could be?thank you x

hi katie could just be scar tissue,mine did the same first ba and surgeon recommended light finger massage through bra not direct on the skin and it worked a treat ,think its just how it can heal it may soften on its own but if u do anything please check with nurse first just in case ..i think its called ganulation of tissue but not sure ..sure cookie will be along soon im sure yes

It'll be the knotted stitch hun, or a spitting stitch coming to the surface. Nothing to worry about, but do keep an eye on it.

Massage it as you normally would. Don't worry about hurting yourself its fine. The stitch should then come out through the surface... Hopefully it will come out all by itself. But if it doesn't, its best to just keep it dry and when your clinic opens just get the nurse to snip the stitch. The snip doesn't hurt at all and its done in a second.

But yes... They can come up as a hard lump at first before the stitch pokes through. Xx
