Are Scars At Appendicectomy Site Normal?
I had my Appendix out via the laparoscopic approach. A few days after surgery pus filled blisters appeared on each side of the main incision. I was told to drain them, I should also note both blister were under the seristrips (sp). They both went away but left darker colored skin. Is this anything I should have checked?

yes.. they are normal.... after appendectomy or making anupy incision over body.. the body heals the incision site with collagen but leaving behind some amount of scar mark.. so please don't get worried about it... it won't disappear completely but will fade slightly thankyou
