View allIt's been 10 days since my lipoma surgery but the wound hasn't healed yet and there's still pus buildup with a bad smell - is this normal or should I be worried about infection?
Surgery that involves a cut (incision) in the skin can lead to a wound infection after surgery. Most surgical wound infections show up within the first 30 days after surgery. Surgical wound infections may have pus draining from them and can be red, painful or hot to touch. You might have a fever and feel sick

I'm dealing with these painful swollen lumps under my armpit skin and I've already talked to a skin specialist about it. She told me I should see a surgeon next. I'm not sure which kind of surgeon I should go to. Can you help me figure out which type of doctor I should consult?

I'm dealing with a Pilonidal sinus and I've got two openings that bleed anytime I lie down to sleep. It's pretty worrying. Could you advise me on what treatments are available or what I should do?
pilonidal sinus depends on the severity of the condition and the type of symptoms: No symptoms: Pilonidal disease that doesn't cause symptoms doesn't need treatment. Antibiotics: If the infection is spreading or you have another illness, antibiotics may be prescribed. Drainage and packing: A pilonidal abscess can be opened, drained, and packed with gauze. Surgery: Surgery is often the only way to treat the cause of the abscess and remove infected tissue. This is called an excision. Laser surgery: A minimally invasive procedure that uses a laser to seal the sinus tract after draining pus.
