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

Answer: Gentle removal Hello and thank you for your question. Your incision appears to be healing very well. If you are able to gently, and with clean hands and a clean tweezer, encourage the hairs out of the incision without disturbing the incision you may do so safely.

Answer: Strands of hair caught in wound? Dear oldchookyou can simply pull on the hairs slowly and tease them out. If they don't move, trim them close to the skin and let nature take its course. It would be unusual for them to cause any problems at this point. Inform your surgeon of your plan.
