I had an abscess drained 6 days ago from my upper lip. now i have a rash around the stitches area. what's going on ? i'm a little nervous.

Rash around sutures: This rash may be a natural reaction to the suture material; however, it may be an allergic reaction; or worse, it may represent burgeoning infection there; since this area was infected, it is worrisome - it should be checked by the doc who worked on you
