I have been treating a ringworm outbreak since September, and until recently, I had no symptoms. However, my ringworms seem to be flaring up again, and I have three more doses of Diflucan and have started using Nystatin cream. My tummy tuck surgery is scheduled in five days. Can I still proceed with the surgery, or what should I do?
It is important to consult with your plastic surgeon regarding this matter and follow their advice. It is highly recommended to fully resolve any infection before undergoing elective procedures like a tummy tuck to minimize the risk of complications.
An infection anywhere in the body can be problematic. In the case of an elective procedure, it is recommended to postpone it if there is an ongoing infection.
Informing your surgeon about any infections or risks is crucial to minimize complications when undergoing an elective procedure.
The severity and areas affected by an outbreak would determine the best course of action, and consulting with a plastic surgeon is advised.
