Hi I had a breast reduction on dec 21 2021, I am fully healed and feel fine I noticed two of my stitches were raised and when prodded/squeezed, white stuff would come out . I went to the doctor and she said its fine and to squeeze it out and gave me topical antibiotics. Its been about a month and theres still white stuff coming out of the stitches “holes” kind of like a pimple. they were dissolvable stiches. so im wondering is it fine or is something wrong thank you
