A member asked:

After gallbladder surgery i noticed a big red circle after surgery near incision, is it a sign of infection?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Redness: The question is whether this circle is a rash,irritation or skin/wound infection. The latter would have associated warmth,spreading redness,possible purulent discharge and possible tenderness. If it's simply a rash, apply a cortisone type ointment. If in doubt, have your surgeon examine you.
