Thanks for viewing. I am a little over 3 weeks out from my tummy tuck. My surgeon has said I need to apply neosporin (which is on it in the photo) twice a day and it will heal in a few weeks. I was wondering if any of the doctors here think I need antibiotics or any other treatment?

Answer: Wound complications after at tummy tuck
Topical antibiotic ointment and good wound care should get this to resolve. Neosporin however can cause rashes itself so if your redness worsens, consider using some other product like Polysporin or Bacitracin. And if the redness spreads considerably, you should let your doctor know for further management.

Answer: Wound complications after tummy tuck Actually on a site such as this, none can examine and give treatment recommendations based on a photograph. We can say that things don't look well and if you have lost confidence in your surgeon, get an opinion from another doctor in your area.
