Asked By:Anne17 in Miami, FL

I had a Breast Reduction a month ago. shortly after the wound opened up and would not stop oozing yellowish liquid. A culture showed that there was an infection which was treated with antibiotic. The border of the wound is red and pink but in the middle is a patch of yellowish liquid that the Doctor says is mucus. I have never head of mucus in the breast . is this possible and if so should the wound be allowed to heal on its own or should the mucus be removed surgically. Please help
