Dr. C. I have a question regarding my port incision and the site to the right of it. Both are slightly separated and reddened about 3 mm surrounding them since 6/18/06. (Surgery date: 6/5/06) They are not draining, but have a yellow/gold "scab" in some spots. Saw my surgeron's partner 6/19. He didn't think it looked infected, but prescribed 3 days of Keflex and had me see my surgeon today. My surgeon also said it doesn't look infected, rather I am reacting to the sutures. No change using the Keflex. Other 3 sites are almost completely healed. Can you explain this reaction? Recommendations? Thanks for your time!

I can't really comment without seeing it. Can you post a digital pic?
