Need wound care: Most likely subcutaneous tissue had some collection of fluid and opened , more often it happens in slightly obese person, ask your doctor to refer to wound care specialist, with vac drainage will hasten healing, with open wounds, oncologist will not give chemotherapy.

Chemo and wounds: Chemotherapy will affect the ability of the wound to heal. Seek help from the surgical oncologist. Working with a wound expert, along with concentration on nutrition will be an important step.
