Asked By:EmilyOMG in Cornwall

I asked about my areola scar being painful and swollen on here this week. Now I have this tender lump which looks blood filled. GP has given me antibiotic and thinks it could be just a stitch trying to break through. My surgeon is in Greece and I’m uk. Could it be anything else? Many thanks
