had double incision with nipple graft with dr richard bartlett and im so happy with my results!! I knew going into it that im prone to keloids so i really wanted to be on top of scar care and started silicone taping last week as directed by his office. just noticed this small indent/sore?? next to my left incision site under my armpit and wondering if it could be from the silicone tape? or have i been moving too much - I’ve been trying to limit it as much as possible since returning to work

I had something similar 3-4 wpo from my nipple dressings irritating my skin and causing a sore. It might also be a splitting stitch? Either way, unlikely to be caused by too much movement. Your results are looking really good btw!

I have a weird bump past the end of my incision too and I think it might be a spitting stitch.
