March 21, 2015
Asked By:oldchook in Australia, AU

Hi Just noticed 2 strands of hair are in wound. I am not near the doctor, but have emailed him for advice. What should I do? Cut the hair at the root, try and pull out the strands, wait to go I go to Australia and get my doctor to look at it. The op was 3 weeks ago and ditches removed 2 weeks ago. Wounds have healed very nicely and happy with the results. Any advice would be appreciated Thanks
