I have the typical 5 incisions, and 3 healed super quick and really well. One under my left breast is about 75% healed, but it is leaving a bigger scar. I can see part of the white dissolvable stitching sticking out of the incision. The incision on my left abdomen, is open a bit w/ yellow and red oozing stuff. I treated all incisions the same. I wash with antibacterial soap and irish spring during each shower. I live in Houston where it is triple digits right now. Is the sweat causing infection. The incision is red around the edges a bit, but not bad. This last week, I started cleaning the incision w/ hydrogen peroxide and putting a cloth breathable bandage over it every day also. It still seems to be taking a while to heal. Should I ask about an antibiotic?

Thanks for all of the advice! I am calling my surgeon today. And, I am not going to use the hydrogen peroxide anymore.
