    Tried to change my gauze and it has got stuck to my scab !!!

    What shall I do?

    I’m freaking out, as I already got an infection on this incision 3 weeks ago and ended up having to have another operation to remove the implant and replace it, I’m 3 weeks post op from my
    Revision op. I’m still wearing the gauze as the first time my scab got knocked
    Off from my bra rubbing which cause the infection in the first place and my nurse said to just wear it in my bra so that doesn’t happen again.
    I really don’t want to wet the gauze as what if this doesn’t work then my wound is sitting in sogginess?

    Shall I ring the emergency number or do u think I will be able to wait untill Monday to call my nurse?

    Sorry if u guys thjnk I’m being over the top but after having going through what I’ve been through I don’t want to take any more chances!

    Please help 🙁 feeling a bit scared

    Definitely don’t try and pull it off! It will probably need to be wet to peel it off but let them do that with clean water or antibacterial gel. Surely they will know and it’s not their first time.,
