How To Cure Lump And Rash Above The Scar After Appendicitis Operation?

Hi I am 23 and I had an emergency appendix operation a bit over 2months ago. I have almost no belly fat, but there is a lump above my scar like a lump of fat or tissue swelling, it kind of hangs over the scar or the scar is sunk like its stitched to my stomach muscle or something, so from my left I have a flat stomach and from the right I have this wierd lumpish thing,I cant wear tight shirts. The lump is a bit tender and the scar has a bit of a rash that is quite itchy.

Will the lump and the rash go away? Will I ever have my flat stomach back again?

HI,Dear, Thanks for the query from you.1-In my opinion this abdominal lump is due to post-operative chronic cellulitis with low- infected hematoma, as it is tender and hearts you ,wearing tight shirts.2-A rash on the scar with ithing -is a normal healing process and nothing to worry about , as it would go off in another 1-2 wks time.3-I would advise to go to surgeon and take needful treatment for the cellulitis by antibiotics +NSAID or by SOS-drainage.Hope this would solve your query.4-Wellcome to HCM for any more query.
