Post Pterygium Surgery
I underwent pterygium surgery 2 weeks ago. Now the conjunctival autograft looks like a red bump. It’s not painful, but it looks bad. Please check the attached photo.
Is it a concern that my eye is still red and there is a red bump where the grafting was done?
Generally how many days it's looking Red?
