Granuloma on incision area after 6 months - Should I be worried? (Photos)

blanca3386Nov 13, 2017
I have a granuloma which it started oozing through a small little hole and on day 2 after I started squeezing out the fluid ,which was only like clear fluid with just a bit of blood. I cleaned it but then I noticed that there was something else like part of my meat with the whitish looking thing coming out . I tried cleaning it But then I got scared. I contacted my surgeon he said just clean it out but then I told him what I seen then he just responded to go to the ER!

Hello,Itching can be normal and oral benadryl can help. Ask your surgeon before applying any cream over the areas. Any drain questions should also be geared toward your surgeon since drains are used differently by each surgeon. All the best in your recovery,Dr. BlaggAustin, TX
