What can I do about this spitting suture? (Photo)

Hello! I noticed this suture come to the surface here within the last day or two. I am one month postop and just saw my surgeon A week ago. He said my incisions were healing perfectly and now this little guy decided to pop up! Any tips on what I can do to keep this under control until I can get in with my doc? I have been washing it with dial soap, keeping it dry and applying antibiotic ointment on it to keep it clean. Any other advice would be great, thanks!
