Rash around incision

I had my hysterectomy on March 16. I have a reddish rash around my incision and it itches alot. Any one have any idea how long the brownish leaking lasts. I think it is making the rash worse. Thanks

hey - did you have abdominal surgery? sorry to say, but you had better call your dr monday, it could be a seroma and the red rash could be infection. the seromas are pesky and can leak for days or weeks.

good luck,

peace

Yes I had a abdominal TAH with LSO I will definitly call my DR on Monday Thank you so much for the advice.

hey girls got up this morning with real bad itching around my wound and it's still itching, my DH wanted to check on it and saw that I still have a staple in my wound ( i got those out on day 4 in the hospital) should I be concerned about this

That is not good, be sure and call your doctor first thing in the morning. I'm holding a good thought and a prayer for you, please let me know what the doctor says. Take care of yourself.

Peace

had Dr appointment today he said that I have a yeast infection around my wound along with some other type of infection that he has put me on antibiotics for (he wasn't sure what kind)and took cultures of he also gave me a cream to put on it as well. Other wise he said I was doing well. Hope to get over this soon thanks
