Is this yellow layer normal? I had a breast reduction and the nipple isn't healing a wk later. I use Silvadine daily (Photo)

hecms1st
I am 5 weeks post op, I don't see my PS for another week. I just want to make sure my healing is going in the right direction. Also there is a putrid smell coming from underneath the breast at the T incision area. However, there are no symptoms of infection. Just the smell. I change my dressing at least twice a day to clear out the smell, but it seeps through my clothing. I have been using Silvadine for two weeks now. Is this part of the process?
