Is my nipple infected?

Asked By:MrIncognito2017 in American Canyon, CA

This is a photo taken today. To me, it looks like the nipple is healing and starting to fill in compared to the original post but my sister, who is a nurse thinks it looks infected. I just saw my surgeon on Thursday and she did not mention anything about an infection.
