The redness around the wound is often caused by the following reasons: First, infection. When the wound is infected, there will be obvious redness, which is often due to the increase of inflammatory media in the local area caused by bacteria. At the same time, there will be congestion, which will lead to redness. In some patients, skin temperature may rise, and even liquid may flow out of the body. Therefore, it is necessary to go to the general surgery or emergency department of the hospital for treatment as soon as possible. If the problem requires antibiotics for treatment, the commonly used drugs are cephalosporins or penicillin antibiotics, such as cefalexin and cefuroxime, and debridement is required in serious cases. Second, it may be caused by suture exclusion. Because the suture is a kind of foreign matter, it may cause redness in the wound. Generally, don't worry too much. The red color will gradually fade after the suture is removed.
