    @mia2222 they don’t look infected to me? I think if they were infected they would be yellow and and weeping but if you have no pain then I’m sure they’re fine ? they actually look like they’re healing nicely

    Hey, don’t know if i will be much help because its quite hard to judge just by a picture and not seeing them in real life. But Im a nurse.. from the photos alone they don’t look like what a typical infected wound would look like.

    You should be looking out for pain at the incisions, a lot of redness (bearing in mind they will obviously still be red as they are new) inflammation, warmth aswell like warm to touch. Sometimes the wound can be oozey aswell. And normally a temperature 37.5 and above for 24 hours. If you do have a temperature make sure you take paracetamol to reduce it.

    If you can’t get in contact with anyone from mya I’m sure you can just go to your practice nurse at your gp and they can maybe do a wound swab as it is quite hard to see from a picture and it will put your mind at rest. But my opinion from the photos they look completely fine xx

    Oh no hun!!! Can’t believe u feel ill. Try not to stress I’d go straight to ur doctors I’d imagine that would be quicker to get seen and put ur mind at ease if it’s an infection or not they will still treat it too sooner u know sooner u can rest about it. Hope u feel better let me know ur ok xxx

    Hope you’re feeling better today hun. I have to say your incisions don’t look infected. If you’re still worried and experiencing the same today I’d pop in to your gp though x
