[IP] Abscess at infusion site/ skin issues

Hi all IP folks,

I had some pus come out of my last pump site yesterday and it was warm to the
touch. Saw my internist today and he says I had an infection and abcess. I use
clean, sterile technique and try to be diligent regarding site maintenance.
Any ideas on how to prevent a repeat of this issue? Thanks! P.S. I am also
celebrating my 1st. year pumping on July 3.
