HELP! small opening on incision 5 weeks post op TT
I have had a small opening on my incision since about 12 days out. I have talked to my ps and they said it was normal. I have a TT with contouring. I had 8 lbs of skin removed. The small opening is closing slowly but nicely BUT my problem is now i have a small opening about an inch or so above that. Im not sure what i can do to speed up healing. Im doing lots of protein, water and trying to be as careful as possible! Any suggestions would be greatly appericated!!
I've got two small places right now and I'm just over 2 months out. My stitches are still dissolving so I'm not worried! I do keep antibiotic ointment on those places. And I have a panty liner across that area in my underwear to catch the drainage. I prefer that to bandaids.
