A member asked:
Post foot surgery 2 wks and part of my incision has shriveled up skin and is not united and some fluid comes out of that area. is this bad?

If the incision: is on the bottom of your foot, the apparent lack of union on each side of the incision is normal. The skin of the foot is very thick and the top layer is dead. It will not heal, but rather slough of gradually. Regardless, I recommend a post surgical follow up visit. Dr. Anne
