OT: Ouch!

OK, some of this is OT, some of it isn't... Ouch! because where Dr. Hu removed the (hopefully not cancerous) bump on my leg Tuesday, I ended up busting one of the stitches loose.  4 kids with tons of activities--sure, I'll take it easy... and Ouch! because where she lanced and drained an infected stretch mark, it hurts!!!  I called the office yesterday when it soaked my pants with more drainage and they told me if it's not red, it's OK.  Well, I can't see down there, of course.  DH says it's not red, but it's like a hard knot.  What worries me is that i'm on methotrexate shots for my rheumatoid arthritis, which shuts down my immune system.  Since last night my temp has been hovering around 99.4.  DH says where Dr. Hu drained it, now the skin is all wrinkled and saggy, so he wonders if some of my bulk there is infection instead of fat. I'm afraid when I do get WLS I'm just going to keep getting infections in all these stretch marks, and my immune system is shot anyway. I'm going to the TSS seminar on Feb. 9th to learn all I can.

I haven't noticed if you have posted on the reg. band section.  Someone there might know or have had the same problems.  They are helpful.  Seems someone alway knows about something there.

Hi, I just noticed we both are kinda new and starting the journey, so I wish us both good luck, as to stretch marks I get small boils and usually I scratch them or pop them,  they will bleed a little, maybe leave a bruise, they are on my belly, usually they are sore before I pop them, they do look saggy/wrinkled after I pop them, I have no problem seeing them, but have you tried standing in front of a mirror or putting a mirror at a level where you could see them, hope things work out, B
