It's hard to tell by looking at the pics but I do see a couple areas that look suspicious.  Is it red? Warm to touch?  Have a *****type drainage?  If yes, call for an appt.

I had the same sort of thing where the two lines meet.  The doc had me put silvadene on it and keep it covered until it healed.

As everyone else has mentioned, you should have your surgeon look at this.  Please call their office.

Best wishes,

You should be asking for medical advice from someone who is a medical professional i.e. your surgeon, not members of this site.

Do you honestly think that I would only use the advise of internet people??? I was asking a question. I have already called the dr. I was waiting on a call back. Lighten the eff up.

What did your surgeon say?  I ask cause that is how my incision looked the day I called my surgeon and yes it was infected.  He cultured the area, and put me on broad spectrum antibiotic and then I saw him this past Wed. 

He said I have a staph infection and changed antibiotics and now we are watching it close.  May end up in hospital for IV anti's.

Good Luck with this!
