Wound not healing after surgery
My MIL went for a minor surgery of tendon on her right thumb at 2 joints. After 8 days of surgery, stitches were removed. While one joint was good, other was fully exposed. You can actually see inside. She was adviced to tie a band aid by her doctor. But after 4 days, she started bleeding. Then, we took her to a nearby hospital where wound was cleaned and proper bandage was tied. This went on for 2 weeks. After that, when bandage was opened, the wound was not healed. Again she went to her ortho doc, who asked her to stick band aid. So it has been 20 days since her stitches were removed and her wound is bleeding again. what shall we do?

Band aid is not the solution for this.
She needs re suturing and debridement.
