What Causes Hyperpigmentation Of Foot Post Foot Surgery?

I have had diareah for 3 days. It is clear/yellow and very acidy (butt is sore). As soon as I eat or drink I flush it straight through. I just weighed my self and have not lost a pound and my temp is 97.9 it usually is 98.7. The only percript I am taking is omeprazole 20 mg per day. On Sept. 26th I had foot surgery and a plate was put on my big toe joint. It seems to be healing fine swelling is down and incision is healed but that foot is much darker in color than the other. Should I be worried or got to a doc and if so what type of doc thank you

Hi
Welcome to healhcaremagic
After going through your query I concluded that you got watery diarrhoea. You have got surgery for your foot where a plate was applied over it. Whether you are taking antibiotics for your foot? If you are taking antibiotics then stopping antibiotics and taking lactobacillus tablets along with oral rehydration therapy will cure it. If you not on antibiotics then oral rehydration therapy will help. You can consult physician for it. You can discuss with your Doctor about it. Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then please don't hesitate to write to us. I will be happy to help you.
Wishing you a good health. Take care.
