Small incision is leaking and raised bump

Hi folks, i was banded on 7 April - all went very well, and I feel like I'm recovering as expected.

My incisions have internal dissolving stiches, with demabond holding the skin together on surface. Four of the incisions are healing very well (including the largest port incision). However, one of the smaller ones is leaking clear Fluid, and has raised into a small bump. Perhaps I damaged it a little. I wonder if the bump means I will end up with raised scar tissue? Anyone else have a raised bump on their incision, and did it go away with time?

Its not the end of the world - I'm just curious and a little concerned if I need to go back to Doc, or just give it another week to heal.

I also noticed a new small weeping wound (like a burst blister) - this is not one of the incisions - looks like the skin was scraped post surgery (I didn't notice it until today).

Am I being overly obsessive? I'm so bruised.

Thanks

Luscious

That happened to me. I was banded in February and 6 weeks after surgery had that happened. It was an infection. I called the doctor and he put me on strong antibotics. I called on a Saturday and by Monday when I went to see him it was better.
