Suture Abscess?? Anyone ever experienced this?

[amymeri]

For the last couple days this one spot on my incision that won't heal started to drain a tiny bit.  Went into the NS office and they suggested a CT and blood work because they expressed 1 drop of pus.  Before doing that, though, they called the plastic surgery wound doctor to take a look and he said I had a suture abscess.  Apparently, a little pocket or sinus develops around a tiny bit of old suture material and then never heals.  He said it was not a wound infection.  They opened the sinus up, cleaned it out and told me to wash it and put polysporin on it twice a day.  Today a little pus pocket developed above the orginal area so I cleaned that out.  I had a very low temp (99.2) and felt hot, so was worried, but I am otherwise okay.  They didn't put me on antibiotics.\

Has anyone else ever experienced a suture abscess?
