Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement,  's  Response
Hello,
I have studied your case and I can assure you that it is nothing to be worried about.This is a small wound wwhich is not healed completely. To get better of this I would suggest you to apply antibiotic cream over the wound and make sure it is not wet or dusty. soon it will heal completely. You may have removed the skin over it but it is not a serious thing as it will going to come again.
Let me know if there is any other followup questions.
