I noticed today when changing my dressing, an odor from my cathater site.also on used dressing. I've been on and off using antibiotic powder for summer months when it's over 100 degrees. Does that smell always indicate infection?

What are you using the antibiotic powder for?

What type of odor? Some antibiotics can cause a sulfur-like smell to your urine.

Have you consulted your doctor?
