Hi I had a wider local excision on the right thigh just above my knee at the end of November - I’ve just had a shower and as I was drying myself all around the wound scar had tinted blue and I had almost like a heat rash (which could be from the shower as I was cold getting in I guess) Is it something to worry about? It’s faded a little now but I’ve not experienced this before in the healing, the bruising has all cleared up so I know it’s not a bruise xx
It’s not the scar as such it’s all the skin surrounding it - the scars really neat and a nudey pink colour. X
I think it is trauma to that area but over time will improve but if you are really concerned I would get in touch with the SSN to discuss.
