Should I Be Worried About a Seroma the Size of a Grapefruit Thats Painful?

I had some calcium deposits removed from my buttock and now I have a seroma the size of a grapefruit that is tender… I don’t know what to do.

Seroma pain

If you have a seroma, it may get infected if not treated properly, or become encapsulated leaving a large firm area. Often this can be aspirated serially and it will disappear. Sometimes it requires surgical removal.
