Titian Infections?

This is a follow up to my implant string of July 7th. I went back to my Urologist on July 17th with excruciating anal pain and bleeding during BM's. This turned out to be a sphincter fissure just over 1/2 in long. This happens post-op due to the anesthesia and no BM's for three days. In my case the stool softener's weren't enough to soften things sufficiently to prevent tears. Another factor were the pain killers, I literally didn't know I was torn until I was off the pain killers.
So I went in for the repair of the sphincter and the torn muscle on Aug 3rd, healing has been progressing slow which is normal. To anyone who has never experienced this be prepared for a spinal block (very painful) and lots of leakage. They inject Botox into the surrounding muscle to give time for the repairs to heal, hence the "leakage"
Just when I thought I was back on the road to recovery I shocked when taking a shower I felt something itching near the base of my penis and looked down to see what looked like a large pimple, I rubbed it and puss just started to pour out. It drained for about 3 hours, I called the Urologist's emergency number and was sent to the ER. I was sent home with 3 weeks of antibiotics, the early prognosis is it is an superficial skin infection because it is right on the suture line. The blood and culture results will be available in a week. I am really hoping that is the case, as I never experienced any pain or redness, but I did see a bump under the base of the penis and just thought it was part of the extra tubing.
To everyone who has experienced these type of symptoms, what can I expect? Is this a bad sign, will the IPP have to be removed?
