Hi guys, so I had a WLE 3 weeks ago, stitches removed yesterday at lunch time and then last night the whole area popped open.
I went to Emergency department at my local hospital and they have referred me back to my surgeon in southmead, seeing them tomorrow. At current the wound which is on the back of my calf is open by roughly 7cm x 2 cm. With deep cavity. I raised my concerns when we discussed the surgery that it may pop open as it did with the original mole site so we discussed a skin flap which they wrote in my notes to complete as part of the surgery however when I woke from the surgery I had linear stitches.
Now it's popped open and it's very clear that the area is too tight I am thinking that ideally I need a skin graph as there is not enough skin to pull together. However I have a slightly charming(bordering arrogant) surgeon and think that I will be rushed through my appointment as I have been in the past and that I may not get listened too again.
Has anyone been through a similar experience? Any suggestions on what is the best treatment to fix what is now a gaping hole in my leg.
Xx
