What Causes Hardness, Tenderness Under Skin After Surgery For Scar Tissue Removal?
Hi doctor,
I just had surgery to remove scar tissue from my knee 8 days ago and now one of my stitches has a hard, very tender, structure under my skin. It's very painful to bend my knee and walk. I'm almost 17 and in good health. This didn't happen the first time I had surgery. Please help.

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I can understand your problem, this could be keloid formation now you just do nothing, no need to take any medicine or requires any surgical intervention, with the time this will come around, does not matter if this could take some more time, hope this information helps you, have nice day.
