Incisions Like Itchy Mosquito Bites

Riverp
Had Liposuction with BodyJet done, at about day 10 Post-OP began to notice skin was itchy. After another day, each incision site was puffy, red and very itchy. They are healed shut, some scabs even gone, no discharge. There are internal dissolving sutures. Doc said put Antibiotic on. Doc had allowed me to stop Antibo.Meds early because of nausea. Is this infection? Allergic reaction to dissolving stitches? Been taking Antib.Meds and Anti.Ointment--not better yet after 36 hrs.
