I noticed it red n with green discharge. how long i have to cover it n put bacitracin.i also started taking antibiotic by mouth for ten day,n if it still wont get better what can it be wrong,how long will it take to dry n heal,can I be able to go to the pool or the beach. can it be cause is not getting enough air,cause is hot n I'm sweating or the garment is to tight. I need surgeon opinion.The Dr that did my liposuction is not a surgeon he's trained. He is certified for cardiovascular disease, internal medicine,cardiology and aesthetic.
