Why do I have black skin and blisters after breast reduction? (Photo)

apples57832
I just had a breast reduction almost two weeks ago. My doctor did a good job but he’s not been very personable since surgery, and won’t really respond to my questions and brushes me off. I know bruising is to be expected, but my skin is turning black. It’s very hot and painful. When I called my doctor he didn’t ask to look at it, but told me it was normal. I just wanted some other opinions, I’m worried and not sure if I need to call a different doctor.
