hi, my boyfriend had incisional umbillical hernia repair almost 6 weeks ago.  4 days after surgery he was admitted to hospital with an absess.  he is now seeing a home care nurse to get his dressings changed, to help clean the wound and change the bandage.  this week he delivered what looks like blisters.  the doctor sad they were not blisters but some of kind of infection.  he is using flamazine on the blisters.  the nurse mentioned today that one of the bliisters looks like more of fungus and the other blisters are RED and raw and painful.    Are these blisters?  what are they?  and how can we get this solved ?
Hello, i can understand your concern. Does your boyfriend have fever??? Does he feel lethargic??based on the symptoms and the history mentioned it definitely seems to be post surgical infection. The best thing would be to send the pus from the abscess for a culture sensitivity and an appropriate antibiotic to be used orally or intravenously depending on the report. Daily sterile Chat Doctor.
