7 weeks post op, tearing sensation? H cup aiming for a C. (photos)

jessburn
I had my breast reduction almost 7 weeks ago, from 42H and aiming for a C. This morning I woke up with a burning, tearing sensation under my right breast, just below the scar. I have been applying cocoa butter 3x daily per my surgeons instructions. It looks almost like new stretch marks are forming under my breast. I'm concerned this may be a sign of infection. Is this normal or should I contact my doctor?
