Does it look like my nipple/areola reconstruction has an infection? (photo)

syahir1984
Surgery was 18days ago. It has a minor foul odor & this is as clean as I could get it. The nurse told me to have Vaseline on it with a non stick gauze pad & switch it twice a day after washing it with mild soap. It's getting a bit itchi, but my doc is 10 hrs away, just wanted to know if I should contact him asap. Any advice???
