    I would say yes, everyone heals at different paces, as long as they’re clean and don’t look infected I think it’s fine. Don’t panic, I assume that the nurses have seen them and agreed they’re OK? I work with patients who have knee replacements etc and some people have scabs on their scar for weeeeeks! X

    I tried to avoid my incisions as much as possible so even just before my 6 week check up I still had a small scan on one side but it just came away as I was washing one day 🙂
    I’m sure even now at almost 7 weeks PO I still have a small rough patch on on end on an incision but the nurse said everything was perfect 🙂 xxx
