    When i noticed a small hole i panicked and rang the nurse, (manchester clinic) they were o nice and fantastic service. They saw me straight away and just put some sterastrips on, and another plaster over the top. Xxx

    Oh no! I’m in a similar position but only 2 weeks post op. I was meant to have my 2 week app today but had to work and the only time
    I could rearrange was Friday. But whilst at work I got a weird rash on my neck and chest which lasted quite a few hours. When I got home and had a look at my plasters it looked like the end of my incision was weeping yellowish stuff. So I panicked and removed the plaster to change it which uncovered and took some skin or a slightly bigger hole like thing! I’m
    really panicked now and don’t know whether to ring the emergency number or not! Help!!

    I will ring first thing in the morning. Won’t be able to go to the clinic though as I don’t live Close ahh! Anyone think be ok to treat my wound myself until my 6 week appointment on the 20th? That’s my only option just scared it’s going to get infected. Guess just call nurse and find out tomorrow, thanks for the advice though:). And jade I would d just call the nurse aswell to put your mind at ease I’m going to do that x

    I had same thing. Was told to keep it covered but that just made it worse. I let the air get to it and it sorted itself out.
