So 19 days postop and the scab is starting to fall off and I noted a yellow liquidy looking thing on my incision. Should I be alarmed?

Send Dr Hakky a text or Whatsapp with the pic. He's gotten many of my ball sack the past few weeks. He responds quick.

Again, ask him, but I had a lot of the white a couple weeks back and Dr Hakky said it was normal. If there's no discharge, redness, fever, it's likely not infected, but again, send Dr Hakky the image.

I had yellow discharge from the incision site for about 3 weeks post surgery. It was thin, like food dye, my surgeon explained it was something they used during the operation.

So, check with your surgeon. It most likely isn't and infection, but always best to be safe.
