My left incision seems fine whereas my right incision is having some sort of white discharge. I took these photos after the shower, since the steri strips are wet you are able to see through them. I dried them with a blow dryer after taking these photos, as I was instructed to by my PS. I am unable to ask my PS in person because I live out of town.
