Suggest Treatment For Redness At Incision Site

I had femoral-femoral by-pass with endo vein harvest the 24th of September. I have 2 incisions on my right leg 1 is about 2 inches below my knee. That incision has some redness that goes behind my knee and is really hard. Should I be concerned and go have it checked or wait till I see the surgeon on the 20th of this month

Welcome at HCM
i appreciate your health concerns
Is there any discharge from the wound site? Any fever associated?
Just mere redness without discharge from the wound should not bother you much .the same goes for fever as well. You can schedule routine visit With your doctor.
Meanwhile stay calm and continue with your medications. .
Hope it helps
