Advice about healing please

Hi, I'm 10 days post op and today I've noticed redness around my largest incision it's also weeping a little, could it be start of infection, should I go to docs tomorrow or is it normal healing process? Thanks in advance x

I should get that checked out, sounds like its infected.

Yes its one to get checked out - weeping is a potential sign of infection and you shouldn't have anything coming from your wounds like that.

It's doesn't look great at the moment! I'm worried about scaring hope it doesn't affect how well it heals/scars x

I had a mild infection about day 7, took antibiotics and they whipped out my staples on day 10 without problems. Speak to the GP

Might just be viscous fluid, which isn't an infection but definitely get it checked out to be sure x
