Could this be a seroma? (Photos)

Asked By:nicolboiseau

I went for another check up yesterday still dealing with a lot of fluid draining yesterday in a space that opened in the incision where drainage was coming out they put a wic in it to keep it open continue to drain. This morning changing the wic I got a good bit of blood that came out. They also started me on another antibiotic (keflex) as we see some goo on the bandages, last night when pressing bump of fluid out (I’d guess 80-11cc) even some of this puss stuff came out the wic hole.
