Suggest Treatment For An Open Wound After Bunion Surgery
Had bunion surgery 7 years ago. Had another surgery recently placing some sort of object between my toe joint as it was rubbing bone on bone. While that surgery was being done they removed my screw. 6 weeks later still have open wound and lots of leakage. Is that normal? A lot of pain as well

Hello,
I suggest to take a culture from the wound and to start antibiotic according to the result and antibiogram after the consultation with an ID specialist.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
