Asked By:chuhs in Los Angeles, CA

I'm 4 days postop submental lipo with muscle tightening and bucal fat removal. I had a drain from this ear for two days. Day 2 postop I toticed itching and burning. As I looked more closely today I see redness. I discontinued bacitracin and simply washed incision with peroxide and then water and dried. Should I be worried. My skin is red and I'm worried.
