Is my transaxillary incision infected 12 days post BA? Is it ok for it to be opened? Advice? (photos)

texasgal123
Breast augmentation on April 4 2018. nurse removed Dermabond glue on 4/13 and cut some spitting sutures. But now I see on my right armpit a small opening? And yellow goo comes out of it ? Is it pus? Is it infected? On my left armpit there’s a small circular opening maybe where a spitting suture was, and it also has yellow goo inside.. should I be worried? And how long does it take for the incision pain to leave? Thanks in advance (red arrows pointing to openings)
