Rash or Fungal Infection? Lumpy & Swollen Incisions. BA post-op 8 days (Photo)

February 11, 2016
Asked By:realself833 in Los Angeles, CA

Developed a rash on Night 4. Figured it was the steri strips. PS removed them on Day 6 & said to use hydrocortisone cream, wash 2x/day, keep dry. Didn't seem too concerned. In the 2 days since, the rash has gotten worse & spread. Also have clear discharge from my incisions (see photo - I change the pads 4x a day). Is it fungal? Or worse? My incisions seem VERY swollen & lumpy. Rash is ON incision & not just around it :( Antibiotics ended Day 7. Waiting to hear from PS but would like 2nd opinion!
