So I’m about 5 weeks post breast lift and reduction, and of course I have stitching all around my nipples as well as down the breast underneath in the form of a G. I was instructed to put new tape after showering when I’m dry. However, I came across a small hole like shape with some (a bit) of pussing coming out of it, directly under my nipple along the stitches. What do I do about it? Should I apply something to it? Should I still put my surgical tape over it or let it dry first?? Let me know:)
