anyone had an infected stitch?
by energy 5th June 2009, 4:31 pm
Hi
I am on a roll with my stitches questions this week. The area around one of my stitches (that hasn't yet dissolved!!!) has gone a little red. It isn't tender or hot just looks red. I have phoned the clinic and have an appointment for tomorrow for them to check it out but I was just wondering if this sounds like the start of an infection or just what happens as stitches dissolve. Slightly worried but I'm sure if it is a problem a course of antibiotics will do the trick.
Any thoughts?
Thanks

Hi
Cancelled (grrrr). They phoned me up this morning to say that they are closing early today so could I come earlier but it is my daughters 6th birthday party today and I had 25 kids coming and it is an hours drive to the clinic so I couldn't. However the stitch does look better this morning. I put savlon on it last night (clinics advice) and I don't think it is infected - it doesn't feel tender or anything. I have my 6 week check on Tuesday so unless something happens with it between now and then I'll just wait.
Thanks so much for asking - you lot are all lovely
