Should I Be Concerned For Reddish, Bumby Rash On Stitches On Cheek?
My son has had dissolvable stitches in his cheek for 10 days now. They are still there and he is developing a red, inflamed bumpy rash that is growing larger around his wound, although the wound itself looks to be drying out and healing well. Is this of concern?
