Blister/pimple along scar line 12 weeks after breast reduction. Is this normal? (Photo)

Stakadaka
I had my reduction at the end of June, and I still have dissolvable stitches which haven't dissolved yet and I have lumps along my scar lines because of that. My right boob has been hurting a bit and I just "popped" what looked like a pimple & a lot of pus & blood came out. I live 900kms from my surgeon so can't pop in to see him. Are these pimples/blisters normal??
