    I'd sure ask a Physician but I do know that some of the mesh used in cardiac surgeries (to help close the incision) is part of a class action lawsuit because after a number of years people's bodies began to reject the mesh.

    I'd get it looked at - a facial infection can spread very, very quickly.

    Come back and let us know - please.
