I'm 19 years old and had breast reduction surgery back in November of 2014. I have minor issues with surfacing stiches that did not disolve (no bigger than a pinhole size). This time I have a large black and blue bubble on one of my incision, it is soft to the touch with no pain. Do I pop it and apply bacitracin or leave it alone? Please help!!
