What Causes Blisters At The Sight Of The Incision Post Knee Replacement Surgery?
My grandmother recently had a total knee surgery on this past Thursday. She has currently got a bad looking blister very close to the incision and is on blood thinners, so I am concerned with if it s really a blister or something else. Is there anyway to send pics to get an answer? The er is a hour away and thst is why we haven t went yet.

Hello,
It could be an abscess or wound infection. Seroma can also present with similar symptoms.
Consult a general surgeon and get evaluated.
If pus is there, it has to be drained.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
