Asked By:pcrutti in Baton Rouge, LA

Went to see my PS yesterday for my 12 week visit. I told me I have a stitch abscess on outer right side of my incision. So bummed all has been going so well until this developed. It is small but uncomfortable. Prescribed antibiotics and gave me antibiotic cream. I will have to apply warm compress a couple of times a day. Just need some reassurance this is common set back that can occur. Will follow up visit in two weeks.
