i had plastic surgery 3 weeks ago to remove a BBC. A flap if skin was used from the side of my nose. Yesterday I had a bulge in the flap about the size of a large blueberry. It burst and was full of pus. There is also another spot at the side of my nose that has pus in it. I went to a walk-in clinic yesterday as it was Sunday and they put me on antibiotics and an antibiotic cream. The side of my face was swollen and red. I cant see my specialist for 2 more days. Anyone on the forum with this experience?
Hi Sorry you haven't had a reply as yet.
you could call the Macmillan support line and speak to a nurse for advice.I had biopsies on my nose and face over a week ago.They gave me phone numbers of who to contact if any problems.Can you contact the ward/clinic you went to for your surgery for some advice or the consultants secretary ? I hope you can get some help with this
