Drains after surgery boils ?

Two weeks ago I had surgery to remove boil. After the drain process doctor stitches the affected place and put bandage over there. After 4 days later, some fluid starts to come out from the same place. I meet to doctor and I got some more stitches. But after that also fluids are coming out. What is this? Is this pus? I don’t understand what to do.

kapoorjanvi 		This is exactly sounding like that seroma has formed in the wound. Seroma is a fluid that develops in the body after surgery. Let that to come out. Loosen the stitches. Just because of the infection, after pus also some exudates continue to be secreted. Infection exists in the wall of the boil. Change the pack after draining. Use antibiotics and drain it after some time.
