Body lift surgery. 2 weeks: cellulitis in the incision in my back (2 rounds of antibiotics) Slowly closed across my back except this one spot. It was drubbing but kept opening and oozing. Since it was still shrinking I waited. 7-8 months: see pcp, get a typical antibiotic, applied for 2 montgs with minimal result. 10 months: strep throat, antibiotics, step throat again, antibiotics. Wound closes. 12 montgs: Wound just reopened and it's oozing again. What can be done?
