Blisters on incision line?

I have a doctor's appt. on the 11th but wanted to check with you all before calling the doctor. Have any of you developed what appears to be blisters on your incision line? It first raises up and looks filled with liquid and then once it breaks hurts like crazy. This is the second one I got and the first healed but I don't get what is causing these. I had complications galore with infections and the incision is now closed so I know this is not an infection.....no green pus, fever or bad smell. I am wondering if this is from some kind of low grade infection still left inside. The way they pumped me full of antibiotics the last time I was in the hospital I would be shocked if it was. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Take care, Kathy 299/236/130

Kathy!! I'm sorry to hear you're having more problems I hope that they resolve quickly. I'm not familiar with anything of the like so my advice would be ... Call that doctor pronto! Have an awesome day! Hugz, Cathy

Kathy I had one too and found that a hot compress on it helped make it feel better and heal pretty fast, too A little antibiotic cream wouldnt hurt, either Kathy

Kathy, CALL the doctor. I had this happen. Mine was called a seroma, and it was basically filled with serous fluid, an oily liquid almost like cooking oil. It is a normal fliud present in your abdomen but in my case the incision line opened up and the fluid was drawn to the tiny hole which then siphoned it up tothe surface where it formed a blister, opened, and was a small hole at the bottom of my incision i had to pack it with antibiotic ointment and bandage it for about 6 weeks as it closed up again. It wasn't a serious complication but they put me on levaquin antibiotics for a few weeks because anytime you have a wound reopen you are at risk for infections. Here is a picture of me at 6 weeks post-op when the blister first appeared. http://home.xnet.com/~countzi/mini-me/sitting6wks.jpg I don't share these pictures much but I am gad now I took so many and ones showing all the progress over the last 18 months, including the good and the bad, like this wound seroma... Hope the info helps. Wound healing issues are nothing to mess around with so call your doc NOW just in case. Colleen
