I have a 2 1/2 year old drain tube scar that is red, slightly swollen and tender when I press. I have had 2 rounds of antibiotics, an ultrasound and a CT scan and have been tod that it is inflamed scar tissue and that I should go see the surgeon that performed the original surgery. Does this sound right?
Hi, thanks for sharing your health concerns with Chat Doctor!  As per your description, yes, you better consult the same surgeon as only knows the thorough history of your ailment! It is unfortunate to get infected repeatedly both for the patient and the surgeon; there must be some interfering factor in the line of treatment... Now it just needs debridement of the wound to convert it to some raw wound so that it heals as naturally as possible! Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow-up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions. Wishing you good health.
