Skin reddened around scar

Hi all. I'm 6 1/2 weeks PO and my incision site has turned bright red. It is completely healed. No infection. I was wondering if anyone has had this happen to their incision site. Perhaps it's a normal reaction to using the left arm again and it is irritation from where PM rubs by armpit? Thanks everyone.

Hi Minnesota,

You need to go and get that checked out as redness may be a sign of infection...

Go to your pacemaker centre/ Doctor and get them to have a look at it, always best to err on the side of caution!
