Does this look infected to you? My doctor says that it's just a blister that isn't healing. I don't have a fever. It doesn't hurt to touch it. But there is yellowish discharge for about 2 1/2 weeks now. I apply lots of Neosporin twice a day and no changes. Is it just from my corset rubbing or should I see another doctor about it? If it's just a blister, any ideas on how to help it to heal? All I've been told is to move around less, but that's not really possible for me. I'm 4 weeks po.

I would allow my patients to get a spray tan after 3-4 weeks from their surgery. This is provided all incisions are well healed. Due to the harmful effects of the ultraviolet radiation on your skin, no plastic surgeon should recommend uv tanning, whether in the sun or a tanning booth.
