Asked By:Schantzie1224 in Sanger, California

I’m 6 months post op and recently noticed a red spot directly on my incision near my nipple (I had a reduction with lift no implants) and I didn’t know if it’s something that looks concerning or maybe it’s a pimple (there isn’t a visible head if it was a pimple). It’s about the size of a quarter, and doesn’t hurt to the touch unless you put firm pressure on it, but even then it’s very mild.
