Hi, happy to help you on your health concern on part of HCM!

In the present case of wound infection, if I were your consulting physician, I would just advise you to consult your surgeon once more for a physical examination and necessary microbiological culture sensitivity tests for adequate control of infection.

Also, it is necessary to find out the cause behind it. For the time being you have to clean the area with antiseptic solutions and keep the area dry. Get a blood sugar test also! ..

Hope you got your answer. Please feel free to write to us if any more queries.

Wishing you the best health!
