Asked By:Leinernene

I don't have a discharge from it or bad odor is dry but the green color on the little dots shown on the pic scare me ??They removed the surgical tape last Thursday and I'm almost 4 weeks. That day they took off one of the stitches from the surgery and im afraid that i'm getting an infection any recommendations I'v been using alcohol to clean the wound and its really dry. I'm not having fever . Just a discomfort of the surgery
