    Can anyone please help?
    I had my dressings changed on Wednesday as it was 7 days PO, my left boob was fine and healing good but my right boob (also had reduction) was oozing at the T-junction.. She said it wasn’t infected but just to keep an eye on my dressings.. My dressings have gone a yellowish colour which I’m guessing could be what she cleaned my incisions in but I also have some weird green colour on my dressings too and I’m not sure whether it is normal? I have attached a picture so if anyone can please advise whether I need to ring the nurse or not?

    Ring her babe, that’s what you pay them for .. Good aftercare. It’s better to be on the safe side and she could say oh you’ve caught that infection just in time! Just ring them 100% xx

    I have spoken to the out of hours people, they have just advised to leave it until tomorrow and ring my clinic and get an appointment with the nurse.. She said because I’ve got an iodine dressing on to soak up the ‘oozing’ it could have now soaked through that which could be why it’s gone a greenish colour? So il just have to stick it out until tomorrow morning.
