7 mnths po: I have a clear sticky discharge from one areola. Is it likely my silicone implant ruptured or is infected? (Photos)

RSMember14371
Started developing extreme dry/cracked skin w/a clear sticky discharge from areola 3mo ago. My plastic surgeon thinks its just dry skin & maybe my milk ducts leaking. It dries into a yellow crust and sticks to eveeything. The skin on/around areola has become extremely discolored, itchy, red, cracked & raised. Moved out of state went to an urgent care, was prescribed clindamycin for 7 days due to bacteria presence found in discharge. 4wks later and its worsening. Getting scared, what should I do?
