Hi I had an ubaliacil hernia operated on, on the 15th September. It started oozing puss a week later through the wound. The wound stopped oozing out of my wound and then the same day it started coming out of my bellybutton. I put up with it for 7 weeks then my specialist did an exploration and left a 2cm cut just inside my bellybutton and said that there was just a pocket of the puss and that it would dry up it s been over a week now and it hasn t stopped and is getting more green every day what should I do ?
Hello dear, Thank you for your contact to Chat Doctor. I read and understand your concern. I am Chat Doctor answering your concern. This green pus is suggestive of severe infection. I advise you to do Grams staining, culture and sensitivity from the pus. It must be antibiotic resistant bacteria that is causing healing more difficult. I advise you to take the Chat Doctor. This will make the treatment more effective, cheap and rapid. Please maintain good hygiene of the wound by frequent cleaning and
