Detailed Answer:
Hello!

Thank you for the query.

When was the thyroid removed? Can you please attach a photo of it?
Such sign is usually caused by blood presence in the soft tissues. It does not need to be treated in any special way. It should go away by its own.

Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.
Note: Hope the answers resolves your concerns, however for further guidance of skin related queries consult our Dermatologist.Click here to book a consultation
