What Causes A Wound On The Abdomen Oozing Clear Liquid?
HELLO, PLZ FORGIVE THE CAPS, I HAVE A DECENT SIZE BELLY AND UNDER THE OVERHANG IT HAS COME TO MY ATTENTION THAT I HAVE A SMALL WOUND WITH VERY LITTLE BLOOD LOSS - IT S MORE OF A SEEPING CLEAR LIQUID AND IT DOESN T SEEM TO WANT TO HEAL UP. PLEASE KNOW, THERE IS ZERO PAIN ANYWHERE AND I SHOW ZERO SYMPTOMS OF AN ILEUS - IF I M REMEMBERING THAT BLOCKAGE S FORMAL OR MEDICAL NAME. ALSO THERE HAS BEEN NO INJURY TO THE AREA - IS BETWEEN MY BELLY BUTTON AND MY SIDE WHERE MY APPENDIX IS (MY RIGHT SIDE) - I AM AWAITING HIP REPLACEMENT SURGERY AND I AM NEAR 95% DISABLED WITH CONSTANT PAIN ALTHO I TAKE 30MG OXYCODONE 4X DAILY. CURRENTLY I SUPPRESS THE AREA WITH A FOLDED PAPER TOWEL TUCKED UNDER THE BELLY AND CHANGED ABOUT TWICE DAILY WITH A RELATIVELY MOSTLY CLEAR DISCHARGE. ONLY A SMATTERING OF BRIGHT RED BLOOD UPON A CLEANSING WIPE TWICE A DAY. I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY ADVICE TO CALM MY NERVES AS I CANNOT GET TO THE HOSPTAL WITHOUT CALLING AN AMBULANCE. THANK YOU, DAVE HANIFIN - TEL 413.525.4824 - EMAIL - YYYY@YYYY
It seems there is some infection in the wound leading to oozing. You can apply some skin cream or Skin dusting powder with anti bacterial. Also you can consult your Surgeon who will be performing Hip Surgeryto prescribe you relevant Skin Cream / Dusting Powder after examination.
