2 weeks post op started to have necrosis issues day 8-9. Went to PS yesterday for check up and had debridement done. Was told wet to dry dressings 2x daily. So far the wound has been to weepy to dry the dressing. I had possible necrosis with my belly button but used a triple antibiotic ointment and its healing fine now. Can I use mupirocin instead of wet to dry dressing? Or do a dry dressing so I can debride it better? Unsure of how to manage my wound. I go back next again week.
