Take the dog to the vet ASAP. There is likely an infection.
My vet told me the hard nodule around my dogs incision is from the immune response to the sutures and it will resolve on its own. If your dog has swelling near the incision, then that is a seroma. You can google that for a good explanation.
By anatomic site, then by procedure (incision, excision)
You could, but it's probably not the best idea. The surgical site should be kept clean until the sutures come out, but the incision should be sealed when the animal is recovered from anesthesia. Depending on what is in the Bactine spray, there may be drugs that inhibit the healing process, which may make it take longer for the incision to heal.
It is recommended to have your vet to take a look at it. It is not normal for a lump to be near the incision site.
The three common incision sites are under the arm (transaxillary), around the nipple (periareolar), or within the breast fold (inframammary). * Transaxillary � This incision is less concealed than periareolar but associated with less difficulty than the periareolar incision site when breast feeding. * Periareolar � This incision is most concealed but is associated with a higher likelihood of inability to successfully breast feed, as compared to the other incision sites. * Inframammary � This incision is less concealed than periareolar but associated with less difficulty with breast feeding than the periareolar incision site. The most popular incision is beneath the breast. The armpit and belly-button incisions are further away from the operative site and as a result less accurate. Many women are less inclined to do the periareolar incision due to concerns with nipple sensitivity and problems with breast feeding.

Hi, Check with your vet if there's a discharge from the incision, or if your dog seems to be in excessive pain. (It's rare for a dog to need pain medication, but it's not unheard of.)

No dog is actually red red. Just go on google and look up something like: red australian cattle dog. :)
