What type of skin infection is this? (Photo)

Asked By:Jenna C in Iowa, IA

I was hospitalized for what they thought was an abscess. After a ct scan the dr said it is cellutitus and fluid accumulation. However i am going to go to another doctor tomorrow because he said there is some type of skin infection from my incision spreading to the bottom of my breasts. It is hot to touch, feels like pins and needles and any slight touch opens or cuts the skin or bruises it. I was instructed to no longer use surgical tape because it was ripping my skin off.
