Suggest Treatment For Puss Filled Bump Near Incision Site On Finger

Hi I recently got stitches in my finger after cutting it open with a sharp knife and was told that if any puss was to develop to go back to hospital. I have just noticed a small area along the incision that has formed a puss bubble, but has not opened. Should I go to the doctor?

Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
You should immediately report your Doctor as pus can spread inside your stitch line & all stitches can be infected.
Take care
