Does this look infected? Breast reduction on June 13. 900 grams (& change) removed from left and 1000 on right. No drains placed. Yellow oozing at both T spots. Put neosporian on it for the 1st time today. Wash daily with non-fragrance soap. About a half-a-dimes worth at most. Stitches coming out at nipple, no pain, but does it slow down healing? Do the t spots look too red/infected? Next app. July 13. Should I clean them with something else?
