Should I be concerned?

I am almost a month post op. All my incisions closed up and the scabs (eww) came off after about 2 weeks. In the past week I noticed a couple of spots that have opened back up, at least I think that is what is happening. I put tape on one and it has healed up niceley but the other one seems to be getting worse. It looks like a litte hole or circle and is red. Yellowish stuff is oozing out of it and it hurts. Should I call the doc or is this just part of the healing process?

It could be some internal stitches "spitting" which come to the top and cause the break in the skin.  Since it is oozing yellow and it hurts I would definitely call the Dr.  You don't want to let an infection brew and get out of hand.
Best wishes...hope it heals quickly!!!

I agree call the surgeon.  It could be part of the natural healing process -- but it could also be something else and your surgeon is the one to tell you the difference.  Do not put it off either.  If indeed it is an infection those can get worse pretty quickly if not attended to.
