What Causes Pain And Burning Sensation On The Surgical Scar?
Hi, I had a small puncture wound on my thigh from removal around a suspicious mole today. I have 3 stitches, and they burn and hurt pretty badly. Is this normal? The only other time I have had skin stitches was to remove a mole but I got MRSA from the surgery... This is much smaller, so I don t know if what I am feeling is an infection or normal.
