Incision question

I'm 6 weeks post gastric bypass today. One of my incisions still doesn't seem to have healed as well as the others. When I went to my 4 week checkup my dr said they all looked fine. Should I schedule another appointment to get this looked at?ImageUploadedByBariatricPal1494382410.828767.jpg

I would clean it with hydrogen peroxide and put some triple antibiotic on it for a few days. If you get any pus, I would go back to doc.

A lot of docs can receive texted or emailed pics. See if they can take a look.

I have one like this on my left side. Dr told me to keep covered with silver gel and a bandaid. Change morning and night. He'll see it in 2 weeks. I'm 4 weeks post op. As long as no fever, I'm good. It has to heal inside out, takes longer
