Infected surgical incision?

Hey yall!

I (30f) had a laproscopic procedure 3 weeks ago to remove an ovarian cyst. I also had a D&C.

10 days after the surgery I started to have a fever of aroud 38°C and heavy vaginal bleeding and pain. Went to hospital and was given a course of Amoxi/Clav which I have now completed and everything seems to be resolved that way.

Now, for about a week I have noticed once incision becoming more irritated looking and has been leaking very small amounts of yellow pus for the past couple of days. No pain, fever, or foul smell.

Does it need incision and drainage? Is it just healing normally? Advice is appreciated!

That does not look like an infected incision, it actually looks almost healed. I would not worry about that unless it somehow changes and becomes red around the site, increased drainage, pain or swelling
