Hi I recently have gotten stitches on my wrist. I finally took off the bandaid after 3 days. I ve noticed I have a slight bump above my stitches. It s actually goes about 3 inches above my wound. It hurts when I press on it, and looks bumpy. Is this normal?

hi! this is not normal at all as a tender or tense lump indicates infection in the site.
Please take cold compress / antibiotics and if necessary consult your doctor.
all the best.........!
