If my nipple graft infected? (Photo)

gio22Feb 20, 2018
Is my bipple graft infected? ( there is vaseline on it ) It has more of a tan small area that looks like puss. Its not green just tannish. I dont see my surgeon for another week. Kind of worried. Been washing my chest with a water based mosturized soap. Not hard either,just letting water run over shoulder as instructed actually my surgeon said to let it run against but im sacred to. Ive been putting neosporin and vaseline.
