Hello Itsemma
Our nurse team are now out of the office until 9am on Monday morning.
Please do contact NHS 111 for advice and support regarding your wound.

Hi Itsemma
Wounds do ooze and can smell awful even when not infected it is normal.
However if you have a high temperature or feel unwell go to A&E, they can clean the wound and possibly give you an antibiotic.
Or if you have a walk in centre nearby go there.
Or Phone 111 as Jen says
Ive had to do this many times and it always seems to fall on a weekend.

Hi itsemma and thank you for posting,
I am sorry to learn of your situation, I hope you could get help over the weekend as Jenn and Ed had advised.
If you have a nurse specialist it might also be worth letting them know.
I hope things start to improve for you quickly,
Take care,
Jemma
