Hi,

Thanks for your question.

After going through your question there might be wound infection at incision site.

You can use oral antibiotic like amoxicillin + clavulunic acid for 5 days along with anti-inflammatory medicine along with dressing with neosporin powder.

If it is not healing even after 5 days or there is fever or pus discharge consult your doctor for examination.
There may be need for wound swab for pus culture and sensitive.

Hope this helps you, if so do vote as helpful.
