I've had two knee replacements and never had that issue. I hope the hospital you are in, has sterile practices. It could be the hospital's fault with you having this skin condition. Saying Prayers for a speedy recovery. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป๐Ÿ’œ

I have skin issues with lesions due to lupus Sometimes they blister and peel I know it is very painful and am sorry you are dealing with it along with your surgery. My Dr gave me Ketoconazole cream 2% it helped let your medical provider know so he can prescribe you something Hope you feel better soon!

@A MyLupusTeam Member Is sounds like it could be a staph infection like the other person said.
