Have the MD who performed the procedure examine your wound and give instructions on its proper care. It appears to be infected. A culture & sensitivity may be ordered to determine what the offending organism is. Appropriate antibiotic treatment for a week or so may be prescribed along with wound care. You may also be referred to a wound care clinic.
