Allergic Reaction In Stitches After Hand Surgery. White Stuff Coming From Stitches. Relief With Nystatin
I had hand surgery in March (carpal tunnel & tendonitist repair) & was told I had an allergic reaction to the stitches as thick hard white stuff was in the stitch holes after were removed & washed 24 hrs later. My hand keeps making this hard white stuff & very thick layers of skin in lines across my hand & down deep also & parts of stitches keep coming out. My doctor said to leave it alone after he gave me an antibiotic. My family dr just told me last week my hand has an infection still, similar to yeast; she gave me Nystatin ointment & it is improving some. Can you tell me what is wrong & what it's called? Thanks, Helen

in my opinion according to history and symptomps ot is fungus
as the areas are more prone for fungus
as therere are areas of tisue after allergy absorb water to get funus
accordingly if you get help from nystatin you can take antifungal tab fluconazole 150 mg once a week
apply antifungal powder and ointments
keep dry and airy
use antibiotics if infection
use yeast free diets
keep n consultin specialist according to progress
