  • Wash it off with peroxide, and add polysporin. It should dry up soon! You could have an internal stitch working its way out. If it does no get better, see your surgeon!

Be careful about putting anything on it my Dr. was very adamant about anything being put on the incisions. Call your doctor.

It leaks clear and yes it is open .

Call the doctor

call your Dr. it looks infected from the photo.. you don't want that getting worse...

Please call your doctor.

Agreed with the others... that seepage doesn't look right! Always call your doctor office. There should be someone on staff to take this sort of call.

That is clearly infected. Please see your doctor immediately.

Agree with others. See if you can send the photo to your doctors office. They may be able to advise you over the phone.

Let us know how it turns out.

When in doubt....call the Dr. It never hurts to call....however it could hurt if you don't. AND...that's what their paid for. LOL....hope you get better really fast! Lisa

I called my Dr. And they said as long as is was not leaking milky yellow or green and as long as it didn't smell that it was fine. She said to just keep cleaning it with alcohol and putting fresh gauze on it and it would be fine until I go in on the 19th.
