tiny hole in incision spot

ifwisheswerefishes

hey ladies,

 i am 3 1/2 weeks PP and today, i noticed a small hole in my incision. it was bleeding slightly, and is really small (size of a pencil eraser, ish). it's not oozing, my incision is not red or hot, there is only a little bit of blood, and i have no fever or other infection signs. it has just FREAKED me the eff out. 

i did call my doctor and she said it was NBD, just to cover with a band-aid and keep an eye on it. but i'm still very alarmed by it...it would be nice to know that others had this happen, too!

i went for my follow-up yes its happened to me too but as long as there was no oozing or all that other bad stuff, i was good to go, i just tried not to look at it so it wouldn't freak me out and eventually it healed up :-) the dr told me i could put neosporin but i never did..its pretty healed up now..hope yours will heasl up quickly! take care!

My incision became infected twice, and you'll know. It gets red, warm, oozy, and really painful. Just follow doctor's orders and you should be good to go.

So this is going to sound weird but this happened to me and my ob told me to put honey in it.  It helps heal and seal.  I thought he was crazy but I did it and it did heal.  Just a thought!

Same thing happened to me about a week pp. It was oozing and bleeding for about 6 weeks. Just keep it dry and covered. I freaked out too!! But I guess its pretty normal. Just keep an eye on it and remember fluid build up needs to come out! So its a good thing.

Same thing happened to me and the Dr. said what yours did.  I don't think it's a big deal unless you have oozing, heat or redness.  I would watch for a fever though just to be sure.

This happened to me.  It took a little while to heal.  My OB put a non stick pad on it to help keep it clean.

happened to me too...but all is healed now. to help it stay dry, i just showered eery other day, and that helped.
