I have an area of redness at top of my right thigh and groin. There is also some on left thigh, but not as extensive. It is about 3 inches in width. Also a lot of numbness in right thigh. I had hernia surgery 3 months ago to repair two inguinal hernias and one right femoral hernia. After surgery the redness receded a lot but in the last month it has returned and seems to be getting worse. I ve asked doctors about it, but to no avail. What are your thoughts? Thank you!
Hello, I have studied your case and I think that you might be having either an infection or some problem with scar site. I do not think that you should take it lightly. It would be better if you go to your operating surgeon and get his opinion. If he says then you may need to take course of antibiotics for some day.  As far as numbness is concern it is due to cut of cutaneous nerves. So soon it will become normal. I hope this answer will be useful for you. Let me know if there is any other followup questions. Thanks
