Yeah hun one of mine did that too, I went back and my surgeon gave me some steri strips to put on, it opened and closed a couple times but it will heal eventually xx

Aww I was the same, worrying like mad. I drove my bf insane with all the “what if this happens”
Haha, they shouldn’t get infected they should be fine,take it you can have showers now then ? Make sure you rinse them to keep them clean but don’t over soak them as this will soften the scab and it will keep knocking off, I only used one steri strip left it on for 2 days then took it off and didn’t put anymore on as I found when I took them off it kept pulling the scab off, think mine were fully closed by week 4 or 5 xxx

Your’s do sound okay hunni, don’t worry about showering etc if you have another dressing over it xx I was really worried about mine being infected as it was red, sore and a bit yucky so I went to my normal nurse as i couldn’t get through to london. She put an iodine strip on it to make sure and then a waterproof dressing which I left on for quite a few days before changing it all again, I had that one on for 3 days and then went to see the surgeon for my po and he took them off and said they were fine now. Not had any issues since xxx

See if you can find the waterproof dressings they are really good and stick well. They have the dressing bit and then clear stick on bit and should be found in any chemists, then it means you will be able to shower xxx
