Possible infected incision:(

I was so happy that my incisions healed so nicely and quickly... until I felt a lil sore on one of them last night.. i looked, and sure enough the end of the incision is red, and looks like there is going to be some kinda fluid under it.. it looks like a pimple almost....... and around it the skin is not red but swollen. I called my Dr today but they were closed by the time i got to them. I will call first thing in the morning to try and go in. . Im assuming this is going to be an infection if not already???. What could have went wrong :( .. I did go to the pool.. but my surgeon said it was fine. I guess it wasnt. Grr :(

I am not a doctor nor a nurse, but I would contact your doctor tonight. Hmmm, does the incision hurt when you touch it or warm to the touch? Surgeons office should have an oncall service when in an emergency someone will call you back. Hope you have a resolution soon.
