Hello, I'm 15dpo, I went to a certified Dr in Mexico, so I can't just go to his office for concerns as he is 13 hrs away. My drains came out at 9 dpo. I went to our local family practice center for my concern of a seroma at 11dpo. The Dr instantly told me it looked like my bb has a staph infection. My bb doesn't ooze, isn't painful or even have an odor, it does get some oragney crusties around it at the end if the day. Does my bb appear to be infected and what can I do to make it heal faster?
