I had laparoscopic surgery mid November to remove both ovaries due to cysts. The incisions sites seemed to heal without a problem until about five weeks later when the umbilical wound looked "weepy." I applied neosporin daily at that point, but the drainage seemed to greatly increase. That makes me think I have a Mycobacterial infection or a fungal one since the infection took that long to manifest and seems to be resistant to neosporin. Glue was used to close the incisions instead of stitches. I have an appointment with my physician tomorrow. Thanks! EB
Actually we can't say whether it's a mycobacterial infection or infection due to any other organism just by looking. The infection which you are having rarely occurs because of mycobacterium (as it usually is responsible for tuberculosis). Anyway, you should consult your surgeon and get a culture done of the Chat Doctor.
