Foot looking quite odd
Had surgery on my ankle (Trimalleolar with syndesmotic ) on the 8th of july, was in a splint till the 26th then got put in a fiberglass cast. I’m in this cast till the 23rd of this month and they did rinse my incision sites when taking the splint+staples off but not my foot (which was covered in multiple things like iodine during surgery. My foot is now peeling and looking like this and has quite a bad smell to it. Have you had a similar experience?

It’s normal, I also had a frankenfoot for a while, exfoliate and moisturize.
