I have had the same thing happen though I am not sure for the same reason.... It seems that my body has rejected the stiches my MD put in and one by one they are being fourced out and just last night ( yeap 13 weeks post op) it happened again. The stiches actualy came out with the puss. It really freaked me out the first time this happened. Definately CALL your MD. you might need some antibiotics. Also keep an eye on your temp and watch to see if there is a red line moving away fromt he sore. IF SO GO TO THE ER right away. ( this could mean the infection in in your blood ) Till then keep the area very clean and covered. Wa**** with Hydrogen proxide. Good luck.
