Areola incision scar suddenly thicker, slightly red and painful (Photo)

August 24, 2015
Asked By:Wanabme in Saint Louis, MO

Just today I noticed pain and what feels like thickening of my incision/scar and some of the surrounding fat/tissue at the outer side of my incision. It is also slightly red around the incision area, but also only at the one end. The other half feels normal with no pain at all. Should I be worried about infection;what precautions should take?
