Possible infection in rhinoplasty stitches? (Photo)

July 16, 2016

I asked a similar question yesterday and also saw a surgeon who said it seemed fine, but gave me erythromycin to take. However, this morning it seems to have become 10xs worse, much more painful and more unsightly...it's only day 6, but it looks different to other recovery pictures I've seen? I'm probably just being paranoid but I could do with some reassurance, thanks in advance.
