I had spinal surgery and 1/2 of my incision has healed nicely. The remaining incision has scabs on it and there is itchy redness around those scabs. I ve tried antibiotic ointment & a benedryl tablet and it cleared up a good portion of the redness. The surgeon said to try a cortisone cream which stops the itching but it hasn t cleared up the redness. My daughter said the incision and scabs look normal, no infection that she can see, but the itching and redness bothers me. I just want to make sure it is normal.
