Brief Answer:
Can be due to clot formation or lack of exercise.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
12 days after the surgery usually the stitches heal but the swelling can take a few weeks to subside. You can start with non weight bearing exercises to reduce the chances of clot formation. The raise rash needs a direct examination t fin the cause. This can be related to allergic rash.
I hope this answers your query.
