Re: fluid coming out of incision

[Guest guest]

It's called saroma. It is fluid that is trapped beneath the skins

surface. A heating pad will help so that the fluid can escape.

Sometimes if there is enough it bursts almost like a small water

balloon. When the fluid builds up the inflammed area can become quite

sore and red.
