I am 6 weeks post op and have been dealing with a penny size necrosis spot for 2weeks now. The surgeons nurse said it looked fine just cover it with gauze and it will get better. Saw my surgeon 3 days ago who cleaned it out and said put Neosporin on it and give it 2 weeks. My obgyn yesterday said clean it out, use peroxide for 3 days and let air get to it. What is the best way to clear this up?? Confused!
Is my scar considered a keloid? Its very small dark and slightly raised. I wore a faja that molds your body as soon as I had my baby. The doctor never told me to cover the incision and the faja rubbed against it. I noticed it got infected so doctor suggested to put neosporin. I stopped wearing the tight faja until it healed. I just want to know if its a keloid that way I can reconsider my choice of getting a tummy tuck.
I had my Drain tubes removed a day ago, the left hole is not draining and is closing well. My right hole is draining a lot. can i put Neosporin with bandage on it? i keep filling up small gauze pads every few hours it is not clear but looks like it did when the dr removed the tube and he said it was normal. How can i deal with this.
It is almost 5 weeks since TT and I have a white spot on my BB that won't seem to go away. Want to be sure it looks okay. Is there anything I should be doing for it? I use neosporin on it. Have put manlike honey on it as well. I do not keep it covered in the Faja with gauze anymore. It has been dry not crusty. The Close looks worse than it is in my opinion.
This started about 2 weeks ago and looks bigger each day. My doctor doesnt seem concerwd and has me cleaning the area twice a day, pat dry, apply neosporin and cover with gauze. He said as long as I have no fever/chills, to not worry. Its hard not to worry, especially when I google these horrible images and the thought of a wound vac gives me a heart attack. He says it will get worse before better..Does this look like it will heal normal? How long can I expect the process? What would you suggest
Im 2 weeks PO. On Monday I noticed a small opening and a bad odor i remo ed the tape and went to my Dr, from Monday to today (Friday) is looking like this. Dr just gave me neosporin. Is this normal? Should I be worried? I cant take antibiotics because I break up in hives. Please opinions.
I had a tummy tuck with lipo. I am 3 weeks post op. the incision area looks to be opening and a kind of clear orange fluid started leaking out about week ago. over the past day it had changed to a yellowish color and still draining. I was given antibiotics by the ER DR he said it looked Ok last week. I cant see my PS cause this was done out of the country I did email him pics and was told to press the tummy to get as much fluid as I can out in the shower and put neosporin on it. please help.
So i had a tummy tuck 2 week and 4 days ago.. My belly button went from looking decent considering surgery.. To this.. Spoke to my physician 10 days after surgery and he told me to clean it with peroxide and neosporin 2 x Q daily. Now ive been doing that.. And it seem to be getting worse.. My sister freaking out saying the white tissue is dead.. And i should get a second opinion. So here i am.. Fyi.. I also scheduled an appointment with my primary care physician..
