Upirons Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 Hey gang, The doctor has used disolvable stitches and several nylon stitches to hold the wound together and relieve the tension of my not so elastic scalp. The nylon stitches were removed on day 6 as per instructions. Day 11 post and I have noticed a couple of tiny blood spots on my pillow. I took a shower today and I think I rubbed the donor area a bit too hard. When I was patting my head dry I also noticed a 1/2 inch line of blood. An hour later I patted the donor area with a napkin and no signs of blood. Should I be worried? I could use some insight. Upirons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill - Seemiller Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 Upirons, It's probably just remaining scabs that broke open however, consult with your doctor if you are still experiencing a problem and/or are concerned. Best wishes, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
