I need help identifying this. It doesn't cause any pain, but it's oozing a tiny amount.
Thank you for your question. It is possible that you may be expelling an internal suture or insorb staple, which can occur as part of the healing process. However, without conducting a proper physical examination, it is difficult to provide an accurate diagnosis. I recommend scheduling a meeting with your surgeon to discuss your concerns and receive further guidance. Best of luck!
Based on the photo you provided, it appears that the white material has either fallen off or been washed off. If it can be easily pulled off, you likely have a superficial wound that will heal with standard wound care. However, if there is a whitish substance that cannot be removed easily, I recommend seeking an evaluation from your surgeon for further assessment and management. The white material could potentially be necrotic skin, exudate, a protruding suture, or something else, although none of these are typically serious. Please consult with your surgeon for appropriate advice.
I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine the specific problem. It is best for you to visit your plastic surgeon for a thorough examination and further assessment. Only after a comprehensive evaluation can you receive appropriate recommendations and advice.
After a scab has fallen off, it is advised to have a board-certified plastic surgeon examine a superficial wound for further evaluation.
