orionburn 1,024 Posted March 20, 2017 Call your doctor this morning to be on the safe side. Warmness is typically a sign of a potential infection so not something to mess with. A phone call is never going to hurt to the doc to get their opinion. 3 mylighthouse, Dashofpixiedust8 and Finally17 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Finally17 54 Posted March 21, 2017 My hole stomach turned red and was hot to the touch turns out I had a allergic reaction to what they scrub before surgery. I am 4 weeks and still red my skin got burnt not hot anymore thoughI'm allergic to latex tape. Don't know if that could be a possibility for you. Hope you learn what's wrong and get better soon!

jjsasha 18 Posted March 21, 2017 It could be an infection or allergic reaction, OR just the fact that you had major surgery. Hang in there! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Navigating the Wilderness 824 Posted March 22, 2017 So did you call your doctor and get a response? One of my incisions was infected at it looked very much like the one on your left. It too was very warm. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FLLyssa 27 Posted March 23, 2017 Just saw your picture, hope you got in touch with your primary or surgeon. Looks like you should be on some antibiotics. I had that with my hystetectomy and they said it was cellulitis and put me on antibiotics oral and topical. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tinytummy17 62 Posted March 23, 2017 I had a similar thing and it was due to an allergic reaction. Like others said call your doctor if you haven't. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Angel22717 5 Posted March 25, 2017 My surgery was on 2/27. Two weeks post op, my incisions did the same thing. Went to dr for post-op exam, and told him the incisions were a little itchy as well as red and slightly hot. He examined me, and it turns out that I was allergic to the surgical tape that was used during surgery. No infection, just a nasty little allergy, that made me extremely uncomfortable. Solution: liquid benedryl and spray benedryl. (The spray can only be used once a day, and after the 14 day post surgical period.) after 4 days doing the benedryl, the redness suddenly stopped, and the etreme itching was completely gone. My surgical nurse called me everyday while I was on the benedryl....and I went back in for a little check the next week. It was fine. It is something that happens from time to time!
