Infection of incision after breast reduction (Photo)

cokes8
I had breast reduction surgery on 1/8/18 but a couple days ago I noticed foul smelling pus coming from my incision site. I saw my PS yesterday who said it isn’t anything to be worried about and to wash with soap, keep it dry, and put a band aid on it. My next appointment with him isn’t until 2/6/17 and I am worried that the wound is getting worse and may need more care than I am giving it. The other breast is starting to leak the same pus. What should I do?
