I am 6 weeks post op and my left arm just won't heal. It has a small opening which white pus(? Not sure) comes out of. A few pieces of internal stitches have also emerged. I have been keeping it clean and applying topical antibiotic ointment, alternating with airing it out. Shouldn't this be healing by now? I am going to the PS next week but looking for anything I can do now. The last pic is my other arm for comparison.
