I did not have any breakouts prior to the surgery. I am wondering if there is fluids, i.e., puss that is trying to get to get out from under the skin due to the surgery. It lasts 5-7 days and then clears up. This is the third time I am breaking out. My surgeon is treating it as acne. The pimples start as 1 or 2 bumps and within 1 day look like the picture below Not sure if I should go see a dermatologist. This is a definite result of the surgery.
