TAKEN TODAY AT WALKIN CENTRE... I THINK LOOKS MORE YELLOW BUT HAVE BEEN TOLD THIS IS NORMAL. HOWEVER THE BIG SWELLING IN MY FOOT HAS GONE NOW THANKS TO A VERY TIGHT TUBIGRIP DRESSING (DOUBLE) ... THE NURSE THINKS THE REDNESS AROUND THE EDGES OF THE WOUND MIGHT BE AN ALLERGY TO THE KELTOSTAT ON GOOD SKIN.

ANY COMMENTS?

Keep an eye on the redness Peter, - I don';t remember mine being that red, - if that becomes worse I think I would get in touch with the hospital
