Hi all,
Just curious about how people’s incisions healed after surgery. I had a lumpectomy on Dec 5th, and the incision on my breast is still not completely closed. My tumor was directly below my nipple. The part of my incision that is directly under my nipple is still open a bit requiring steri-strips to be on. It is leaking a bit of yellow fluid.
Anyone else have this happen as well???
Hiya hun, I had that too. You should probably phone your breast care nurse, or go to a wound clinic if you have one near by and are worried.
I was told by my nurse friend to keep the steri strips on until they become dry, crusty and fall off naturally. I took mine off too early, so bought some to put back on. Keep it as dry as you can, even in the bath. Once I did all this, they dried out and closed up x
