Hi I had a mole removed and developed cellulitis so the stitcheshas to be removed. The infection was so bad I couldn t walk for weeks. Do you have some case studies which state the infected area may be sensitive and susceptible to irritation. It is on my foot near my ankle and my foot swells and then my show rubs and it ulcerated again. Is this going to continue to happen
Welcome to ChatDoctorI appreciate your health concerned the area you had stitches once can have irritation sometimes that you are feeling. Ist of all change your shoes and use some open ones that don't rub against your area of infection till it heals completely and no mark of scaring or ulceration has left behind. Keep the area clean and Chat Doctor. If there is still infection, clean it with methyl spirit thrice every day. Once it heals completely and there is no ulceration for at least tow or three weeks then you can use shoes of your choice. Try using soft and comfortable one. Regards
