Suggest Cure For An Infection Caused Post Removal Of Sweat Glands
hi, I had an operation in the uk on the 5th Novemeber. Shelley's procedure to remove my sweat glands. However it was only today that i could have the stitches out as it is still gaping and won't heal. I am on various antibiotics, however it does not seem to be healing together and has yellow pus. What else could the doctors try, and would they re-operate to remove any infection?
Hi, From history it seems that there might be having infection in the wound causing removal of stitches and produced gaping on the wound. Now it will be healed with secondary healing by granulation. Now go for regular dressing with proper cleaning and applying antibiotic cream or lotion preferable by your doctor. Gradually it will be healed up. If gap is big then secondary suturing should be done. Ok and take care.
