Laparoscopic Surgery For Gall Bladder Removal. Lost Weight, Pus Oozing In The Incision Area. Treating With H2O2. Alternatives?
I had laparoscopic surgery to remove a gall bladder about a year and half ago. I have recently lost weight and the tightening skin around my belly button has pulled the skin around the incision scar . Now it s kind of oozing blood and thin pus . I have tried treating it with H2O2. Is there something else I can do for it.

thank you.
it is unlikely to develop an infection at the incision mark after a longer period of operation.
you are losing weight due to systemic effect of the infection.
it is better to go for a C/S of the wound discharge.
it will guide you about the antibiotic use.
confirm your diabetes status.
