Reason For Red Bumps Around Incision On Foot After Surgery?
Hi, I just had surgery on my foot. I noticed yesterday that tiny red bumps were forming around one of the 3 incisions. Now, it looks like it expanded and the bumps around the center are a brown/creamy color and towards the edges it is just red. Am I getting an infection? I ve been cleaning the area just like my doctor/surgeon told me to.
