    Hpw do you know if your incisions are getting infected? I noticed this morning i have a small yellow patch on my incision, that incision is more red then my other too. Any advice would be appreciated xx

    I had a small yellow patch apear, i paniked thinking it was an infection starting. It was a few stitches that had pushed out. The nurse pulled them out for me but since then i have pulled 4 or 5 out myself when they have started poking out. Have a feel with clean hands obviously an if you feel anything sharp/prickly will probably be a few stitches if not you might be best getting it looked at just incase it is an infection. Xx

    That looks fine to me Hun looks like it healing well looks more like bruising the yellow bit if was infected it would be like a angry red and puffy also the yellow would be a puss type liquid xx
