I had my tummy tuck feb 7,2014 just last week I noticed that my incision area was red and had a lump even though it's been healed. After I showered and dried myself the skin in bubble area burst and white stuff like a pimple came out but with pus and then some blood. The area became raised and red and as the days followed it continued to happen in other nearby areas Id get red pouchy areas than after showering skin would break and white stuff comes out and a little bit of blood is that normal?
