Had knee surgery a few weeks back, had two small incisions, and now where the sutures were I have two lumps the size of golf balls directly below the knee cap. Every time I mention it at appointments no one seems to care, but no one seems to want to tell me if it is just inflamation, scarring, etc.
Hello dear, Thank you for your contact to Chat Doctor. I read and understand your concern. I am Chat Doctor answering your concern. No, it not looks like infection its kind of inflammation or scarring. If it is infection than you must be progressed to your symptoms like increase on swelling and discharge etc. I suggest you to take the medications as prescribed by your doctors. You can add serratopeptidase which is healing enhancer and can improve the healing. Please maintain good hygiene at local site it is equivalent to taking antibiotics. Please avoid injury to the site of suture otherwise infection can occur there. I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/ Chat Doctor. Thank you, ChatDoctorInfectious diseases specialist, ChatDoctor.
