Suturing help

2017-07-17 08:06:14
My stitch was done on 22nd June in my right knee. It was opened after a week. How long will this take to heal completely. I still can't walk properly and a red layer has formed surrounding the places of my stitches. I am not sure if this is normal or not. I want to know how long will it take to heal.

HELLO, CONSULT A GENERAL SURGEON. THE WOUND IS IN VERY BAD SHAPE, PROPER CLEANING N DRESSING IS NEEDED. WHITE PATCHES SEEMS TO SLOUGH, IT SHOULD BE CLEAN UP WITH COPPER SULFATE CRYSTAL. HIGHER ANTIBIOTICS IS NEEDED PROBABLY INJECTABLE. I HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND THIS, O.K BYE.
