Did you have crease incisions? I would give your clinic/ps a call to check if it needs trimming until it dissolves hun x

Hi!!

I agree with Nads....just call the clinic/hospital and nurse should trim and clean for you.

I did not have this myself, but a few of the other ladies have and it has been easily dealt with, and help easing your mind. xxx

Hi,

I would call before then... just in case you get it infected...or keep it covered to save rubbing and catching on bra/clothes. xx

Hello

one of my incisions was still quiet scabby until about week 5 then the last bits fell off, My surgeon said it wasnt normal to still have them there but not to worry about it as it was probably due to excess fluid.

I would call your surgeon soon as though just incase of infection hun.

My last stitch/scabby bit has just come off yesterday with a teeeenny tiny bit of encouragement for me Blush

something I am NOT recommending x it was a bit wet underneath and I made sure I rinsed it with wound wash well and then covered it and this morning it looks clean and dry, phew x

Definitely contact PS for advice though x and they can sort it properly if need be x
