Wound care: Your surgeon is your best place to start. Sounds like you are still inside the 90 days after surgery, so call and make an appointment. In the meantime, okay to shower, wash the area with mild soap, rinse well, pat dry, then hairdryer the wound. What you describe is within the normal expectations for your mastitis/breast abscess. Good luck.
