Plötzlich entzündete Narbe?
Meine Mutter hat seit ca 15 Jahren eine Narbe an der Wirbelsäule, da ihr vor 15 Jahren dort ein Tumor entnommen wurde. Heute Morgen ist die (vielleicht 3cm große) Narbe plötzlich rot, dick und angeschwollen. Sie sagt es fühlt sich so an als ob sie sich dort verbrannt hätte. Wir sind gerade im Ausland im Urlaub und jetzt stellt sich die Frage ob das was ernstes sein könnte (wo man umgehend ins Krankenhaus müsste) oder wir noch zwei Wochen warten können um einen Arzt in Deutschland aufzusuchen.

No one can judge this. Was the area exposed to the sun?
No. The scar was covered by a tshirt and in the last 15 years sun was never a problem with her (at least not on the scar)
When the sun turns out, this is really nothing everyday, which could be explained in a lay forum. Whether your mother wants to be a doctor, she has to decide herself.
Have another possibility I would consider. Pressure as a cause, e.g. by backrests of chairs.
You have a foreign health insurance (hopefully) – the doctor’s visit pays you cash on site and then you pay the bill at home for insurance.
Your complaints can have many causes, it can only be a doctor on site.
Remote diagnosis is not possible.
I don’t know. Even a doctor wouldn’t make any statement from theory, only vaguely suggest what we are doing.
It is irresponsible to make a statement here that you would rely on. The responsibility for the decision must be your mother alone. No one can take her here.
As I said, remote diagnostics are not possible. If you worry, a doctor should look at it.
thanks! We were surprised and thoughtful. But we also thought maybe anyone here knew. Going to the doctor here is also difficult (I just explained under this question in a comment).
yesterday we arrived only after 7.5 hours drive (with a new car sitting with a slightly harder one) could that come from? Because she was sitting on normal chairs.
Thank you for your really helpful answer!
Yes, my mother has such an insurance, but we both can’t do that well and we’re here in a small village. A few years ago my sister had broken her arm here and the treatment was not nearly enough. They barely took care of themselves and in general there was no good doctor. That’s why she’d rather wait until we’re back home (unless it’s really dangerous) which is why I asked for.
