Brief Answer:
This is normal with staples or stitches
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for your persistence and photo. Photos shows redness around each staple. This is 2 weeks post-op. Hence there is a local reaction around the staples only and will settle once the staples are removed.
You may please apply Liquid Povidone Iodine locally to avoid local infection.
I hope this answers your specific query. Feel free to ask for further relevant queries if you feel that there is a gap of communication.
Regards
