BA areola incision infected? Stitches underneath healed skin. (photos)

Jujuspirit_06
I had my stitches removed at 3 weeks. I am now 4 weeks post op and have several scabs and holes around entire areola? Is this normal? When the stitches were taken out I was bleeding and dr said to put peroxide and than scar cream on the area. I am afraid that I will have areola deformities and scars. There are also black spots under the skin that look like part of the stitches, how can I get these out?
