What Could Be Cause Of Pain And Bulge On Skin After A Graft?
Hello doctor , I had a skin graft on my upper right thigh and part of lower right abdomen around 25 years back. I found a bulge on the grafted part. The skin has become loose and soft. It pains while walking, when I sit and when I try to stand up. What could be the exact reason? What should I do?
Hi. This looks to be hernia as per your description of the symptoms and the site. Get high resolution ultrasonography , clinical examination - if hernia , get this operated . If not a hernia needs further investigations like biopsy and ll.
