Will The Fluid Oozing Out From The Wound Of My Scalp Go Away?
I had some stitches in my scalp about 8 days ago. Will be removing them in about 3 more days but there is still a pinkish oozing coming from the wound. I think is is a dime sized area that wasn t stitched but the skin hasn t grown back yet. Will this eventually go away. Chris

Hello. Welcome to HCM,
As your wound was stitched following the injury and there was a discharge from the wound.
The discharge is may be due infection of the wound, it should be kept clean and dry for rapid healing of the wound.
As you a mentioned regarding some part is not stitched but it will heal, no problem.
You require physical examination to see for the granulation tissue which is a good sign of wound healing. Keep the wound dry and clean.
Thank you.
