T&P'S mom,

if they did a tubal ligation, they tie the tubes off. some dissolving
sutures do not dissolve, or take longer to go. the body rejects the 'foreign body', forcing it thru the skin. rejected sutures turn the skin purple as the material comes out.

(in a tubal crush and fulguration they separate the tubes
thru cautery-burn them to separate the tube) just a few stitches to close the incision site.

sounds like your right in the money! hope that's all it is.


btw, i have this bump on my head....
