Does this look infected?



Recommended Posts

Okay! Figured I'd post a little update.

So today I was cleaning the wound, and I think it looks better? No more redness around the wound, it's not hot anymore, and not painful either. It's also stopped bleeding/oozing pus as well. I've been taking Cephelexin (or however you spell it) thrice a day for about 4 or 5 days now for the infection. Otherwise, I've just been keeping the wounds clean with antibacterial spray and covering the one that was infected with antibacterial wound dressings.

Today it looks like this. Does the middle part (the dark purple/red strip) look okay to you all?

I had one like that and went to the doctor and they said mine wasn't and now it's just left me with a bigger scar then the others. I would still check with your surgeon to be safe.

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!

      Today was rough...
      I've been experiencing a headache all day today that just won't go away. I'm thinking it's now progressing into a migraine. Does anyone else get headaches from taking vitamin B12? I did some research and learned that usually a lack of B12 causes headaches. But I've noticed when I take it, I have reoccurring headaches. 😫
