it looks a little bruised....is it warm or are you running a fever? It could be infected. Thats worst case scenerio though. What have you been wearing....and tight pants that could have irritated the site?

It does feel warm. I haven't had anything over it to bother it. I haven't checked my temp to see if I might have a fever.

I would go see your doctor or at least call the office... If it's hot it could be infected or maybe a cellulitis

Call your doc!!! Could b infected. Does it smell? Is Ooze coming out?

Best Wishes

I'm really nervous about the dark red areas. Idk if that's bruising or not. None of my incisions from my rny or my other gallbladder incisions look like that. Also the area is very sore and painful to the touch.

Mine wasnt that bruised looking and it was infected and I had to go back to the Doc and they cut my incision open and it had to drain and I took bactrim. Its healed and better now but it took two Weeks. Dont wait go to the Doc immediately

The dark area looks like bruising to me, but I'd be more concerned about the redness around it. If it is warm at all, it is probably an infection from everything I've seen. I'm not a dr, so I would definately call them. Check your temp as well.
