Infected Incisions?

[CCCross 31]

Well I was feelikng like recovery was going too well and now...my insicions are goey. I've been washing my whole abdomen with hibiclens since beore surgery (Oct 6) and being extremely careful to scrub my hands with hibiclens before bandaids. Called my surgeon and now I'm headed to my PCP to get the incisions checked out. The area isn't warm and I don't have a fever, feel great, but there's pus (gross sorry) coming out. Anyone deal with this? I'm so paranoid about staph and MRSA, that's where my head goes.

You're doing the right thing by seeing the doctor. It's probably nothing but it doesn't hurt to get it checked out.

I agree with IsB, it's best to get a doc's opinion. Maybe talk with the doc and caring for your incisions. My incisions were glued shut and I didn't have to put anything on them. Hope it's nothing. let us know please.

Sounds like you have an infection. I did also in my largest incision. I took antibiotics for 2 weeks and was fine, healing nicely now.

My sister had her sleeve 2 weeks ago. 3 of her incisions became gooey and had puss in them. They put her on an antibiotic and had her clean them with some kind of cleaning agent a couple times a day and they were clean in a couple days.

Thank you for the replies! Dr said they actually look good but gave me a prescription for antibiotics if its not better in 3 days. I've been on way way too many antibiotics in the last 5 years, so we're being cautious about when I take them.
