hi thanks for asking this on HCM. wound infections occurs if you had not been prescribed antibiotics after the procedure or if you failed to take the tablets correctly given to you. the air surrounding is filled with lots of microbes so if you have not taken good care of your wound it can happen. even in hospitals you can get such infection transmitted. the treatment for that is antibiotics and a wound culture should be done for finding the exact cause.
