A member asked:
I had bariatric surgery 2 weeks ago and now little white puss bumps have surfaced around my incicisions, what are they please?

See surgeon: Without seeing them, if one of my bariatric patients called me about this is, i would tell them to come in. Possibilities include blisters from the adhesives or tape, candida (yeast) infection, bacterial infections, or other skin diseases. Don't wait ... Go see your surgeon, please!

Infection ?: Tiny white pustules plus redness usually means infection. If only white areas, might just be tiny bits of skin. Best to contact your doc.
