Im a 33 yr female. A month ago I have laperscopic repair of adhesions post a inguinl hernia a yr ago. I also had a hysterectomy, open dab at the same time last month. The healing has gone very well. Today, my one lap abd incision got a small pin hole that a small amount of puss came out of and now I have a area the size of my hand around it the it splotchy. There is no pain or itching. Im concerned about mrsa, scepsis, or other infections this all happened with in the last 3 hours.
Hello dear, Thank you for your contact to Chat Doctor. I read and understand your concern. I am Chat Doctor answering your concern. Yes, it is an infection at the surgical site. I advise you should be tested for Grams staining, culture and sensitivity from the pus discharge. Once the report received we came to know which organism is probably infected to you. Whether it so MRSA, MSSA etc.Accordingly, you also got sensitivity report stating which antibiotic to use and which not. This infection should be given good local hygiene this can be maintained by local Chat Doctor.  Detail and Betadine can be used for it. Polypoid application at the end helps combat bacteria locally. Avoid further injury to the infected site. Please take care as to avoid any pressure over the infected site by muscular action. I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/
