Is this a bursa or seroma, or just a blister? (Photo)

December 7, 2014
Asked By:Ginger2977 in Nd

I am 8 weeks post opp. At 6 weeks post opp, I was hit in this area. It bruised and swelled to the size of a softball. It was red and slightly warm. No never. Swelling has gone down, but area is still extremely sore. Cannot lay on that side and it hurts for anything to touch it. Skin starting flaking last night. Today after putting Vaseline on it, I notice that the incision pretty much looks like a flat, slightly raised blister. My ps looked at me wed, said to watch it. It's not getting better.
