Margie, I had an open wound from a port in my chest, on the left side. My wound was because chemo therapy infultrated my skin, so they had to take the port out and left and open whole in my chest for it to heal from the inside out. I had it taken out sometime around april and (few years ago ) it took till about september to close up. Mine was above my breast. Hopefully if yours was just a hematoma it will heal a little faster. I think alot of mine was due to the harsh drugs that leaked into my skin and of coarse slow healing due to chemo. There are many factors that will alter how quickly you heal. I wish you the best. God Bless
A hematoma can happen after any injury or surgery, Especially when blood thinner is involved. A vessel that has been cut or damaged leaks or seaps blood and it has to go somewhere so it begins to pool in an open space or a weak space that it can expand.
