What is this rash around my incision site? (Photo)

December 2, 2017
Asked By:Lindsayj93 in United States

I had a dermafibroma removed about 2 weeks from my shin. I stopped using Neosporin on day 4 because there was quite a bit of redness present and it got worse from there. I started clindamycin 9 days ago and the picture below is what it looks like today. I have been back to my Dr. and she doesn't really know what's wrong. The rest of the stitches were removed about a week ago. I just want a second opinion. No pus or drainage present, but it is a little warm to the touch.
