Extreme swelling with shooting nerve pain & large blister 8 months post-op - have you seen this before? (Photos)

Sensible561413
I had a tummy tuck 8 months ago and had a few stitches spit and a little trouble healing around my drain site. This week I woke up with extreme swelling in my mons area. I also had pain so bad that I couldn’t sleep and at one point I couldn’t even talk through it. 2 days ago I had a large blister show up and is now protruding. Has anyone seen something like this at 8 months post-op?
