My tummy tuck incision was healing. I am 11 days post op. BUT... now it's peeling and turning pink, just on one side that the JP drain is on. 1.) What causes this? 2.) Can I use neosporin? I am going back to my PS, just thought I'd ask a quick question.

Answer: Is my tummy tuck incision looking normal? Thanks for the question and photo. It looks like normal healing to me with only some superficial sloughing. It is best to allow your PS to give you instructions with regard to care of your incision. Making sure your hands are very clean when applying ointment, and keeping your incision protected with gauze are basic steps to prevent infection. Hope your healing goes well!

Answer: Scars This is not uncommon and typically minor in nature. You can use some topical antibiotic ointment with a gauze covering until you see your doctor
