Suggest Treatment For Bruising Around Operation Scar On Stomach

My husband was in a bad motorcycle accident 4 years ago. He has a big scar on his stomach around his belly button from exploratory surgery due to his accident. All of a sudden today he noticed what looks like a bruise on and around his scar in multiple places. Is this something to worry about? Thanks in advance, Holly

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hi,

Over the years - 4 in this case the scar goes on natural changes. While going through multiple stages of healing and remodeling it can become sensitive to many things one eats, drinks, in direct contact like synthetic or woolen clothes. Hence identify the factors, foods or beverages that caused such changes. Have clear and focused photos for present and future reference.

Take an antihistamine to avoid any reactionary thing that caused such changes. May need additional oral steroids too, this is a prescription based medicine. Do not apply anything locally unless suggested by a Doctor. Take multivitamins, minerals and trace elements along with Lycopene. Consult a General Surgeon or a cosmetic surgeon to have an opinion and any additional management. Surgery may be needed.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. T. Chandrakant, General Surgeon
