Three weeks Post-Op I noticed light yellow spots in my bra coming from the juncture of my lollipop incision at the bottom. Now at 4 weeks Post-Op My bra irritates the spot and it continues to drain it. The tape in this area was loose because of the wetness. Today I removed the tape and placed a bit of antibiotic ointment on it and covered it with a bandage. This spot is approximately 3-5mm in size. Is this something that will resolve itself? My PS is in another state and it is a holiday weekend.
