Is the cut infected? (Photo)

Thank you for your question. I cannot give you advice without knowing more information such as if the redness appeared in the last few day or has been there all along. However, if you are experiencing a lot of tenderness, warmth or fluid this can indicate an infection. I recommend having a follow up with your surgeon to address any concerns you may have. Best of Luck!

I cannot completely answer your questions without more information.  For example, if this redness appeared in just the last few days, that is more indicative of infection than if the redness has been there all along.  Itching can be normal as a wound heals.  However, if there is significant tenderness, increased warmth or drainage, all of those can indicate infection. I would follow up as soon as possible with your surgeon.
