Hi, thanks for sharing your health concerns with HCM!

If I were your treating Doctor for this case of UNFORTUNATE wound infection, I would like to suggest a microbiological culture/sensitivity test before debridement or drainage of the collection just to choose the appropriate antibiotics!

There must be some contamination, suture/dressing materials or superadded infection ...

I suggest you to go for an FNAC/ microscopic test also for confirmation and to relieve your concerns!

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.

Wishing you good health.
