Looks odd to me. Does it have an order? Is it hot to the touch? If so definitely have your doctor look at it. If it gets any bigger make sure to see the doc as well

No odor..feels like a scab but it def looks like there's puss or something under that otherwise why would it be whiteish...all my incisions feel the same

It is probably filling in, mine looked like that too...is that where your drain was??... if I gets redish around the area with drainage or odor or a fever call your doctor...

Dr said its not infected its just my bodys way of trying to push out my sutures inside...i didn't have a drain..this incision is the smallest of the 6..its under my chest

Yah that happened to me... Same thing it eventually drained a little and that bump underneath went away... My dr said it was pushing the sutures out too... And it was only one incision . That will just leave a bigger scar but who cares lol

I had one that did that too. It never acted like a real infection and went away before I saw my doctor so I never asked.

My suture was sticking out a little bit and the incision wouldn't close, so I went to my surgeon and had it pulled out. The incision healed and closed almost immediately.
