Asked By:bec28 in derbyshire

I had ba 4 months ago then I had to go back and have corrective scar surgery & implants taken out & pockets cleaned now 5 & a half weeks I've had nothing but problems had a caliform infection. Redness & fluid near the scar,ive been on iv antibiotics & oral antibiotics for the last 6 weeks & it's started leaking again a light yellow /brown sticky fluid & I've got a bad cold? I'm still on oral antibiotics. Is it possible to get another infection? Are black scabs normal too on scar?
