Asked By:Ariel90 in Orange County, CA

I am officially 4 weeks PO today and woke up with some discomfort on my right breast incision site. Looking in the mirror I saw the end of the incision is red and weeping clear/yellowish fluid. I cleaned around the area with an antiseptic and put a bandaid over the area to keep it clean. I am very worried about infection. I plan on calling my PS but would like other opinions before I call in. Is this something serious? Should I be concerned and is this other things I can do to help this?
