I really need some help, I've recently had a breast reduction I'm 5 days post op and noticed this blister like wound near my t zone incision and my surgeons office is closed today and tomorrow. This blister has been secreting red and orange like blood with virtually no pain but I'm worried it looks like it's gotten bigger. could it be the bra that I'm wearing is too tight? Should l be applying a cream of some type? So far I've been placing gauze in my bra on the wound.
