Hi All,
I'm going on five months now, and i've got an issue i'd like to ask about, albeit a kind of embarrassing one. I apologize if it sounds a bit gross, but it is a real issue nonetheless.
I've had what appears to be a row of tiny little pimples down the length of my incision. Every doctor who has examined me since the myectomy has said that it's completely normal and not any type of infection i need to worry about. Okay... that's fine.
However, within the past few weeks i have developed several bigger and deeper ones that are almost like cysts and are right inside the incision. These contained quite a bit of... well let's just say 'stuff'. This morning i noticed another one and i'm beginning to wonder what's up with this. They're big enough that when they drain, there's a noticeable little 'hole' in the incision, and the skin around that area seems a bit puffy. The incision itself does not appear red or inflamed... it is the dark pinkish/purple color that i would expect at this point.
Does this sound like something i should have checked out... or are these just tiny little pockets of infection along the incision that are completely harmless? I had kidney surgery a few years back with about the same size incision, but i don't recall having this happen.
Thanks for any input,
Jim
