Was looking at my incisions today and noticed one was a bit puffy and off colored. I would call today but well its sunday, you know those docs and weekends, they gotta play golf sometime :Banane53:.

So a full pic of my incisions and a enlarged one of #5 which is the one that made my eyes bug out today.

Good thing my doc is a hottie, gives me something to look forward too when I call him tomorrow. :welldoneclap::thumbup:

Looks infected, but you should see that dr. to be sure, particularly if he's hot. :welldoneclap: Throw some neosporin or other ointment on it and leave it alone. Good luck! :Banane53:

Yep, that definitely looks like it might be starting to get infected. I would have it looked at for sure. Hope it turns out to be nothing!

Keep it clean and get to your surgeon's office for an evaluation and maybe some blood work as well.

I like how the surgeon was careful not to cut into your tatt!

Owwwww - hope it heals soon!

LOL yeah I love how they avoided the tat also. Made me even more happy with my surgeon.

Speaking of, I just finished talking to his nurse. Since I do not have a fever, or am sick (throwing up kind of thing) they want me to just keep an eye on it. It does look better this morning so I think the swelling might have been part of the problem as the swelling has gone down quite a bit over night.

She told me to make sure I wash it really good (but gently of course) and to put a hot compress on it off and on through out the day.

Amazingly enough that is what I have been doing. Guess those years as an EMT are finally paying off :biggrin:

Glad to hear everything is going okay and it looks better....keep up those at home EMT skills!
