Hello,


I have developed a strange small red spot on my left flap. I'm keeping it covered and It oozes a little bit. I am dealing with a failed right flap so I'm a paranoid. its right above the incision line.. Surely it can't be opening 2 months later? . I can't figure out what caused it...I' was applying moisturizer twice a day but now applying antibiotic ointment.


Thank you.

    Beth- could it be an internal suture/stitch that is irritated? I had to have some of my stitches removed as the did not dissolve. Mine were on the incision line but sounded similar. In any case, call your PS office and see what they say.

    Sorry about the failed flap

    I did not consider that... I will definitely have it checked out. I appreciate your reply.
