Im feeling really down about them tonight :sad: i got some healing pads from boots and have just taken them off tonight and there no different my leftie has a little bit of scabbing on the corners but the righty is almost still all scabbed over!

Is this normal should they still be scabbed over after nearly a month?

Oh hun please dont be upset, its such early days, your incisons are fresh at the moment and have sooo many changes to come, dont look at them too much they will heal Hug

Mine were dissolvable hun, the scabs will fall off, im sure mine didnt until a few weeks after anyway, because nothing rubbing on them they're coming off naturally so it takes longer. The scabs mean they're healing which is good, did your ps tell you when to start putting stuff on them? x

Do you have external stitches? I had dissolvable and my scars never scabbed much, they were just darker/harder to start with, I guess that was probably scabbing but it didn't look like it... maybe most of the scabbing was internal. But I wouldn't worry hun, they are just scabs and they will fall off when they are ready to! I know it is easy to get worried about our ops, especially earlier on, but I promise, you won't have permanent scabs, that's just not possible, like nads says they take longer to disappear as you are being so careful about the incisions xxxxxxxxx

He said 5 - 6 weeks post op do you think it will help putting anything on them or should i leave them with it still being scabbed?

I think once you start applying stuff and massaging them they wont feel as hard and the scabs (if they are scabs!) will come off x

Don't know if it will help but since I have been putting arnica cream on my girls they have really softened up and the aching has all gone now! Try not to worry sweetie its still early days. x Hug

Mine were dissolvable C.B. I kept mine covered with micropore for six/seven weeks, as advised to aid healing i.e. soften scar tissue and close incision to air, clothing. Changed daily after shower just water to clean. I did not scab, everyone is different though ...if your bra is rubbing it wont help..a little bit of medical gauze or cotton could help. I would not put anything else on untill they are fully closed.

Hope you feel better soon Hug

Perhaps give p.s. a call if you are over concerned, but it sounds like just the normal healing process. Heart

Hiya Mia

I asked in boots about the micropore tape but she told me not to use it over scabs does it come in a role like cellotape or am i getting confused? lol i may give it a try anyway just to keep them covered for now

Yes it comes in a roll, you can get it in a dispenser (like sellotape) easier to use, mine is skin colour given to me my P.S.

Perhaps you could ask the pharmacist if you feel unsure Hug

Hiya boobie sis, just found this post, wish there was somethin i could recommend but i havent used anything on mine yet, only cos i have no idea of whats best, lol. Just wanted to say to get too down about it cos you are still early days and im sure they'll improve loads over the next few weeks/months! xxxxx

Hi thought id just add, try not to compare to much with how ''other'' people were at certain stages. I was a little worried at 1st as iv seen some peoples scars where they are already turning silvery/white at like 5 weeks and mine were still bright red. However 11 weeks down the line mine are really starting to fade, everybody gets to different stages at different times. No need to worry Hug

hi, not too much advice about the scabbing as I'm still only 2weeks PO but just thought I'd let you know mine are definately very scabby at the moment and the nurse at my first check up said it would probably be like that for a while so try not to worry too much :-) Like any other scab that forms over a cut it will go away eventually for sure :-) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
