Suggest Treatment For Swelling And Redness In Leg After Knee Replacement

I had a total knee replacement on June 12, 2014. Two weeks ago I was told that the scar was not healing properly and I was referred to a plastic surgeon. I have been treating the wound with Dakar Solution which worked fine for about 12 days but for the last four days my knee and lower leg has become swollen and red. What can I do?
