dianaplatano 1 Posted September 25, 2021 Hi everyone, I’m new here but keep referencing back as I find it so helpful here. Anyways lately I’ve noticed one now going on two of my incisions having a round red puffy circle around my incisions and on what the doctor already told me was infected but not to worry and as of yesterday started getting a bright red/purple yellow bruise… help?

lizonaplane 1,613 Posted September 25, 2021 (edited) I would ask your surgery center. That's not something the internet can diagnose. Edited September 25, 2021 by lizonaplane Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vikingbeast 987 Posted September 25, 2021 You need to call your surgeon. If you develop a fever above 38ºC/100.4ºF, especially. If you develop a fever above 39ºC/102.2ºF, you should go to urgent care. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Soon2bFit21 109 Posted September 25, 2021 Your doctor said it was infected but not to worry? Did they give you any antibiotics or say you needed to come in? I am a wound care nurse, your margins are spreading which is not a good sign. If your doctor refuses to help, please go to urgent care or the ER. 1 learn2cook reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dianaplatano 1 Posted September 25, 2021 I had leftover antibiotics from a UTI prior to surgery which she said to take it was 1 tablet twice a day, I had 2 days leftover. She said it should go away with that but I couldn’t help but worry so I was asking for opinions not a diagnosis, thank you guys I’ll be heading to urgent care as another incision is starting to get red swelling around it as well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
