Has anyone else developed a staph infection in one of your surgical incisions?
I thought my belly button incision was getting better, but just yesterday at 10 days past surgery, I noticed a blister had developed. Went to urgent care and as soon as the doctor say it she said "sssssss oooooh yeah" like she thought it looked awful. I feel so stupid for not going in sooner. I've got a prescription for antibiotics 4x a day and was told to get into see my surgeon this week for him to take a look. I'm pretty damn freaked out over this. I looked up incision infections on here and was pretty horrified by how much worse mine looked than anything else I found on this sub. Has anyone else been through this?
