keloid, post-op



Here is the keloid patient, post-op the next day. Keloids keep coming back so he'll never be rid of them due to genetic disposition, but he's so happy to have the large one gone! You see parts of surgical gloves sticking out of his suture lines. Well, those are being used as drains to drain any fluids that might otherwise collect. They will be removed with the sutures. He should be released from the hospital today (What is today? I think Thursday... time has less meaning these days...)
