ANOTHER INFECTION

[BlueDiamond]

Hi Guys and Gals

As most of you know I had Navel infection last week and Once again I am on antibiotics for another infection. Have been given, Miconazole and hydro-cortisone, not in pain or anything but foul smell and weeping, can anyone shed any light if they have had this post op and did the cream work for them - Thanks in advance - Julie xx

Hey julie i have been getting a sore and wet navel this last month haven't been to doc's though when it flares up i am washing it thouroughly in the shower and drying well after so far that seems to calm it down. hope your well soon anything to do with our bands to you think???

Ive not had any navel probs post op!
What I found helped was to wash with Femfresh,dry.then dry with a hairdryer!Dust with Femfresh talc free powder.Keep foods with yeast to a minimum.Its yeast that encourages infections in folds,vagina,navel etc.

Oh dear Julie. Sounds awful. I am a great fan of talc for making sure any folds of skin are kept as dry as possible. I use baby talc.

Ohh no, not another one. Poor thing. If I ever get any infections like that I use Zink and Castor oil cream. Soothing and clears up the infection too. I know this sounds yucky but I wouldnt mind betting that some of that brown stuff that they paint you with has gone down your tummy button when they were doing the operation and has started to go yucky and that was what started the infection in there. I dont know where the other one is, is it under your tummy? Put zinc and castor oil on it, it will go away. Its sticky but it makes it feel much better.
Hope it gets sorted soon for you. PS if it is yeast infection, use a different flannel and towel for that area than the rest of you.

Had that sort of thing before I ever had surgery mainly under breasts/navel and under tummy flap best way I can describe smell is to say "yeasty" not a fan of hydrocortisone but miconazole should work on yeast based infections, did doc do a swab on it to exclude bacterial cause?
After the usual washing/drying (clean seperate towel) have in past used a tea tree cream both shop bought and homemade (antiseptic plus few drops tea tree oil) which is antibacterial and that has calmed it down within hours, I did quite a bit of research on benefits of tea tree so thats why I am happy to use it, but thats my choice.
Hope it gets sorted soon.

I get this frequently, my gp gives me trimovate cream which works in a day or two. When it first starts I clean it with savlon liquid every morning then use the trimovate a couple of times per day. For me it's going to keep occurring until I get the skin removed.
