I noticed this when Bandages were removed at home. I called dr office and sent picture. I was advised to pop so Fluid can drained, clean with antibacterial soap and pat dry. Anyone else get this?

My big incision got a slight infected and oozed clear/yellowish Fluid for days. Then it healed over but the fluid built up and since my scar was thick and the surgeon had to cut it open and then pack it. I had to pack it until it stopped having fluid.

pretty normal when your body is processing an injury and the dead cells get trapped under a layer of skin.

Makes sense. I drained the Fluid but don't like how it looks now.

It's going to look nasty/beat for a bit... it'll get better.
