Postby annoyed31 » Sat Jul 22, 2023 2:41 am

Hi,

A question does superficial infection on incision site can be resolved with antibiotics?

I am not a doctor, but I think it is like any wound that can be treated by various types of topical solutions that contain antibiotic and/or tablets.

I am 9 days out. Skin around pump is still sore. No issue in mobility. Icing it 3 to 4 times a day. This is more mental surgery than physical.

Is it oral medication? I think this will protect your implant from the infection, but I thought an antibiotic locally applied to infected area would help as well or washing regularly with an antibacterial soap. Just a layman opinion.

Yes its an oral medicine, i use antiseptic spray to clean the wound and sleep naked with shaft taped to belly to dry balls.
