Will the fluid oozing out from the wound of my scalp go away?
Patient: I had some stitches in my scalp about 8 days ago. Will be removing them in about 3 more days but there is still a pinkish oozing coming from the wound. I think is is a dime sized area that wasn t stitched but the skin hasn t grown back yet. Will this eventually go away. Chris Doctor: Hello.Welcome to HCM,As your wound was stitched following the injury and there was a discharge from the wound.The discharge is may be due infection of the wound, it should be kept clean and dry for rapid healing of the wound.As you a mentioned regarding some part is not stitched but it will heal, no problem. You require physical examination to see for the granulation tissue which is a good sign of wound healing. Keep the wound dry and clean. Thank you.
