A member asked:
Should i be concerned about a speckled rash that is emanating from the site of my knee surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Follow up with the Dr who did the surgery or your PCP. It could be an infection and might need antibiotics. It could also be a fungal infection which would need oral antifungals. Either way it should be visually examined by a Dr for appropriate diagnosis and treatment.
