My port incision is infected :(

[Brandy Hunter-Lee 1]

I had surgery on January 26th and breezed through with no problems and was healing well.Then last weekend I noticed it was weeping and puss-y. My doc lanced it and has put me on 2000mg of antibiotic a day.

I was wondering if anyone else had experienced a port infection post op and how did it go for you?

Thanks!

Not ignoring you, I just have never seen anyone post an infection before but then I don't read all the posts every day.

Any incision is going to be subject to infection. I believe that is more common that we may hear about. Sounds like your Dr has it under control!

Congratulations on your journey!

Mine got infected too. No big deal, my doctor made a small incision and drained the puss. Antibiotics for a week and cleaning the wound daily with peroxide and alcohol. It healed just fine. Good luck Brandy.
