Got Cut In Hand While Washing Glasses. Took Stitches. Area Is Raised, Skin Looks Dark. Concerned?
Hello. I cut my hand washing glasses two days ago and had to get thirteen stitches. Most of the wound looks to be healing well except for three of the stitches where it looks like the skin did not line up perfectly. This area is raised and the skin looks dark and has bled more than the other areas. it does not appear to be infected. No lines streaking out. Should i be concerned about the dark skin?
hi. seems like there is a collection of blood in that area due to imperfect aligning during stitching. Go back to the surgeon. He might need to have a look at that site and may be redo the stitching after removing the blood clot that might have formed in that area
