Need advice Regarding my dad’s kidney transplant

Hi everyone, My dad was diagnosed with CKD in 2017, with his condition deteriorating with time, his kidney failed up to 90% in early 2026 and he had to resort to dialysis for 3 months. Unfortunately in July, he was diagnosed with a septic infection in his permacath which had to be removed followed by a kidney transplant on 16th of July. It has been almost a month and we already detected an infection in the transplant wound and got it checked from a doctor to which they said it’s common due to the fat tissues. He was also diagnosed with diabetes 2 weeks post transplant and the doctors said this is due to the steroids and anti immunosuppressants. I am attaching a picture of my dad’s wound, anyone who’s had a transplant or any of the attendants who’ve dealt with the same please give me your opinion as i’m concerned about my dad’s well being.
