A member asked:
I just had surgery on my foot. 2 days later i developed fracture blisters and a strep infection. are these related to the surgery?

Not enough info: You said that you had fracture blisters. Did you have a fracture? Was it an open fracture? An infection can happen after any operation-that's a risk of surgery.

Blisters: Do you mean cast blisters ? Or trauma blisters ? The infection may be surgery related , but we don't know if you took proper care of the surgical site either. See your surgeon for help.
