What Is The Red Knot On The Right Of Incision?
hello.
I had a tummy tuck 7 years ago..I noticed a small knot on my right side in my incision a few weeks later..I just assumed it was scar tissue and never really thought much more about it..It itches sometimes and now the knot feels bigger and it looks bruised and a little red.Can you please tell me what it might be because I am really starting to get scared and worried..Thanks!!

Hi,
From history it seems that you might be having Keloid formation or hypertrophied scar.
Consult surgeon and get examined and follow his line of treatment.
Ok and take care.
