You probably just need an abt ointment and oral one and should be good! Better to catch it early!

Is that where your drain tube was? Mine did the same (almost). My PC gave me a prescription for Mupirocin ointment, changed the band-aid 3 times a day and it looked great on the second day.

I think it looks ok, but for scarring purposes, a triple antibiotic ointment and a bandaid for a few days (change twice daily) would be a good idea.

Was it sutured or covered with dermabond? Either way it seems to be gaping a little. Worth getting checked out.

Since this could be a portway to your insides, I would definitely go see your PCP at least.. Better safe than sorry... :)

Mine looked like that too. In fact, they are just now starting to heal after weeks post op. The Dr told me to use peroxide for a few days and use neosporin. I did that and now am just keeping them clean with soap and Water and using a small amount of steroid cream each day. Finally getting better and aren't as sore as they were initially. Call your Dr and check, but you'll be fine.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
