pinhole draining?

I am 4 weeks out today.  My arm incisions seem to be healing relatively well...

Both arms have one spot, about midway down, that looks like a small bruise under the surface.  On the right arm, yesterday, it opened and bled.  Now there is a little hole there.  Not red or infected looking, just open.

Anybody else have this?  I just washed it and put a small bandaid over it so that the silicone strip wasn't lying directly over it...anything else?

This is maybe a bit bigger than a pinhole...more like the whole you'd get from stabbing yourself with a pen lol.

It does seem to be closing up today...I think it just needed to drain that pocket of blood under the surface...

Jus****ch it...a few of mine would start out like really tiny holes with a little drainage and I'd band aid them.  A week later, the same thing.  Then repeat and finally a little piece of thread.  Just something I experienced.

hmmm..just thinking... maybe it's not a good Idea to put a bandaid on it, because you'd be blocking the stitch from coming out.  What do ya think?
