Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query pus filled lump on the sutures post appendix removal is because of persistence of infection in that area. There are chances you have underlying systemic disease such as diabetes which is delaying healing in that area. Take a proper course of antibiotics to subside infection. Visit oral pathologist once and go for Grams staining, culture and sensitivity from the pus discharge. Maintain proper cleanliness of that area. Apply Betadine cream and polypoid ointment to heal the infection faster.  Chat Doctor.
