A member asked:
My husband's doc assessed his hernia repair site swelling and associated it with his athletes foot... is this accurate?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The only connection: I can conjure up would be if he developed a fungal infection to his hernia site, which is pretty rare. If that is the case, he would need oral anti-fungal medicine, but only after a positive fungal culture of the hernia site. I have to admit, though, this is a stretch. I like the idea of a second opinion.
