I had my breast reduction done 4 weeks ago as of tomorrow and have had a small white spot that was barely noticeable for the past 2 weeks but now has become red around the area and is bigger and painful. I'm worried this is an infection. I think it's a spitting suture but the nurse at my surgeon's office didn't seem concerned at all and told me to put polysporin on it so I did that for now.
