My 6 week check!

HI girls ,

Had my 6 week check in Norwich @ 7pm with the transform nurse. She said my scars look fab & that they had all healed but i told her i still had 2 stiches sticking out which she seem 2 think was odd at 6 weeks..............she then decided it would be a good idea to get hold off the stitch & give it a bloody good tug & OMG i thought i was going to be sick!!! she then said it was a stubon one started to 'Dig' (in her words!) it out! Now i dont Know if thats normal but she said i would be left with a little whole that will have to heal again...............I think i would have rather she left the silly stitch where it was

She then noticed my horrible white spotty boobs ,chest ,neck & face and went on to ask how long i had hade it for............I told her that i 1st got it 2 days after my op & that it started on my boobs & spread from there. I also told her that i have had it 3 times since then so she was not to happy about it. She asked me if i had ever had it before which i said i never had.
I told her i had been put on fucidin antibiotic cream by the nurse but she told me to go to my G.p asap & get a swab done & that if my G.P thinks its 'related' to my surgury then ill have to be booked in early to see my surgon!

Apart from that it all went well............have 2 admit the rank spots are really gettin me down as i have my new lovely boobs but they look horrible with the puss spots all over them!

Oh Sta, I had no idea you had complications with your skin on your boobs?? the stitch thing I have read before on here and the girls have taken care after and things came good, but the skin infection sounds like it could be troublesome.. def get swab hun, fuciderm is topical you may need oral.... gp hun gp...xxxxxxxxxx

Ouchie!! Glad the stitch is out now hun, good on the nurse for taking initiative on the spots, hopefully they'll clear up x

sounds like that stung a bit having the stitch pulled out. Glad it's out now and you wont have anymore problems with it. Hope the spots get sorted for you now.

Ouch!!! Stitches really turn my stomach lol! Hope you get to the bottom of the little spots on your skin, I know when I have used anti-biotic creams in the past they have worked really quickly.

I cant believe it has been 6 weeks for you....the time is flying by!!! xxx

sorry to hear about the stitch! I think I would have been sick!

Let us know how you get on with the GP for your skin, hope its all OK.
xx

You're braver than me, don't like the sound of her 'digging' a stitch out .

Your spots sound a bit nasty, hope you get them sorted soon, x

Saw my g.p 2 day who was completely stumpt as to why i am covered in spots! He popped a spot & took a swab (yuk!) but said he didnt think they would get anything as there was hardly anything on the swab. Told me just to leave well alone & see if it settles

Hi Sta

ooouuuchhh stitches !!

Sorry to hear bout your skin such a shame as clearly spoiling your lovely new boobies.....maybe a skin infection?? Probaby need oral antis as fucidic is quite mild in comparison....wishing your spots better!! (am sympathetic my daughter, 4 yrs, has molloscum and is quite covered its yuk) xxxxx

It funny really as my husband pointed out to day that i have had the spots once before my op when i was on a course off oral antibiotics ( i forgot about it as it was a long time ago) &the 3 times since my op i have been covered in them i was on oral antibiotics so im wandering if its a reaction to them?! It makes sense........I had 1 lot that you take for 3 days after ya op then another for a chest infection, then a different lot a week a half later as the 1st lot didnt work.

they are starting to clear up again thank god as im out for a party at the weekend!

Sounds like you could have found your cause there Sta. Hope they clear up soon so you can give your boobies an outing at the weekend. xx

hope your spots clear hun, but glad your scars and boobies are fine xx
