Asked By:denise_1027 in Poway, CA

Last week I had a sticking suture on my left breast Which I pulled a little and cut it so it could go back in. I also had a red lumpy bump right next to it.. Well now I noticed that the same breast where I had the sticking suture got more red Across my incision this time not as lumpy, but more redness and my skin seems to be peeling where all the red is. so now my right breast also has a red pimple looking bump and I could see a bit yellow discharge. Are my incisions getting infected? Please help
