@Zoffiel omg I totally agree with that! my abdominal scar is actually ok they said, but the incision under my breast lift I had trouble with. I had a couple of stitches the nurse missed so within a week it was driving me nuts, I managed to pull it as much as I could so my daughter could cut it, then it freed it up and started to heal. The dis-solvable stitches hmmm I agree with my nipple recon they used them and there is a spot that took so long to heal, the nurse said it seems its a stitch. So it all healed over, but guess what?? with my silicone dressings I got yesterday I get these small like netted rubber and you use it to massage the scars. So I went around the new nipple and that small spot that had healed???!!!!! pulled the little bit of skin to reveal it is still not OMG! it is very small but fact is it hasn't healed, so I've had to resort to the silver dressing they gave me months ago and redress for a week and see how it goes.
I agree too my tummy scar was like that, bumpy and itchy, she said yesterday though its settled down and pretty good, I think it has too. She massaged it in circular motions to try and break up the scar tissue a bit, even a soft toothbrush helps do it too. It does sound like the sutures though, I wonder if they just eventually dissolve? I remember my Wounds Nurse commented on the one i had but wasn't too concerned as in it will heal. Uuuugh!
I hope you can get hold of the Surgeon and get it cleared up asap!!! x
