I Had A Hemangioma Removed From My Foot Six Weeks
I had a hemangioma removed from my foot six weeks ago. I was treated for an infection two weeks ago when my foot became red and swollen. Now the redness and swelling have subsided but the wound smells and has dark green edges. I'm on antibiotics but they are not helping.

Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
As you describe, it appears to be the resistant infection with mixed strains of bacteria, including the anaerobic bacteria.
The other cause may be the growth of fungi, due to over use of the antibiotics.
I advise you to consult a surgeon for diagnosis and treatment .
You may need to have culture and sensitivity of the discharge, and treatment depending upon the result.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
