After using my antibiotic lotion for 2 days I realized it was getting even bigger. Is this a concern? (Photo)

Question

I have 2 salves. Is that really something I have to concert about ?

If you have not been evaluated by your plastic surgeon, you should do so as soon as possible. It is difficult to tell from a picture, however the wound may need to to have some of the nonviable tissue trimmed away. Stay in close contact with your surgeon to avoid progression to infection or worsening of the wound.

Hello and thank you for your excellent question. Wound healing issues after a breast reduction are not uncommon.  However, if you have not been seen by your plastic surgeon yet, or your wound is currently changing, I suggest that you seek a face to face visit as soon as possible.  Good luck!
