What Causes Hot And Cold Flashes And Red Circles Around The Area Of Staples?
I have had a gallbladder removal surgery last friday. They used staples to close it all up, but today when cleaning it and changing the bandaids I noticed red circles around the area the staples go into my skin. It is hot to the touch and Im also experiencing hot and cold flashes bad enough that I am sweating. I am a 21 old Female... I just need to make sure I am not fighting infection
hello welcome to HCM i really appericate your concern and i understood your query, this was no infection and red circles because of mild body reaction like normal inflammatory that why you had experienced hot and cold flashes so not to worry about it u regularly do dressing and while dressing check wound by pressing either side and check wound clean and dry or not, any pus formation or watery discharge if yes then consult your surgeon for needful. hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
