scars "knitted together" ?? Empty scars "knitted together" ??

Post by Nicole 17th April 2013, 8:05 pm

was told at my post op appt on the 2nd that the steri strips she applied to my scars would fall off naturally within 5 - 7 days however they are still stuck on tight! emailed my clinic and was told to gently pull them off in the shower and if the scars look like they're 'knitted together' then leave them be but if they look like they could do with 'more time with tape' to get some steri strips from chemist and put them back on

what does 'knitted together' or 'could do with more tape' look like ?!?!?!

Use a mirror or get someone else to take a look for you hun. If the scar doesn't seem to have any openings anywhere and looks to have healed (scabbed over if there was any oozing) and after removing the strips doesn't feel like there's any tension on the incision then you're good to go lovely. If you had no problems with your incision at all at 4 weeks post-op you should be fine though. Xx

Think knitted means completely closed over hun. Think the risk comes with maybe taking some of the scabs off with the steristrips so if that does happen then to just reapply some but otherwise leave them be and wait for the scabs to fall off next :ok: x
