    Hi needing some advice please, yesterday I went for my 2 week check with the nurse she said all was fine but my right incision was weeping nothing to worry about. New steri strips on told me to shower in 3 days take of strips to see how it’s healing, but today I have had a little look and and left strip has blood on… Do yous think I should take it off see how it is or leave it?? I’m in no pain and hasn’t bothered me at all xx
