Question: i had a gram stain culture done because I have a surgical incision under the breast that has not healed in over 4 months. I had an ruptured breast implant replaced, then had to have it removed shortly after, because the incision didn't heal. The doctor suspected that bacteria had begun to colonize in the breast tissue because the incision had been open for several weeks and advised me to have it removed. The incision has still not healed and that is after more than two and a half more months. There is yellow fluid leaking from the breast and it often a yellow stingy like fluid forms when it's not leaking to the point it drips. I went to my primary doctor instead of my cosmetic surgeon to get another opinion. She cultured the incision because she said it was pus leaking from the breast and that there is no possibility the incision would heal itself, as the other dr. had advised me. My physician did a gram stain test. The results said no bacteria was present; however, the results also showed that "rare white blood cells were seen." What does the latter mean?

Thank you. This informatkkn is extremely helpful. I also wanted to just follow and see if you believe that the rash that I have been experiencing for over a week could be related to this infection or is it a separate issue together.
