Guest guest Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 Dear all, Need input re scar healing. Staples were removed normally. Now my left knee is healing fine, steri strips falling off and a nice pink scar underneath. Right knee healing very slowly, some steri strips falling off but at the top a few of the stitches from below the staples have popped tiny tops through. Now I have two patches of redness (one dime-width, the other a quarter width), very light occasional bleeding and a blood blister (that may be because this is my last week on Coumoden). This is my 6th week post-op. I've been advised by PT & OS's office to use antibiotic cream, cover with bandaids, keep clean & protected, etc., and it'll clear up. Of course I'm concerned to have a poorly-healing scar so near my precious new knee! Any suggestions? Is this *sort of* normal? Anyone else had? Thanks for suggestions, Sue BiTKR 7.10.09 Dr. Pearle HSS, NYC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
