Best ointment to use for open wound by T-Junction? I had bilateral breast reduction exactly one month ago. (photo)

This is a common problem.  I personally think the type of ointment doesn't matter that much--bacitracin, triple antibiotic, even A and D ointment will do the trick.  This may take a few weeks to heal, but, it will heal and cause no further problems. Good luck, Jane

Hello,Ointments are fine for very small erosions in the skin, but larger wounds with necrotic or fibrinous debris (like yours) would do better with saline wet to dry gauze dressings. Your surgeon needs to see you sooner so he can remove dead tissue/debris; you shouldn't be waiting with a wound. Best of luck!

Dear Lmanea1987,this type of wound is not uncommon after breast reduction. It is usually caused by poor blood flow. I would suggest you to follow your surgeon's instructions and keep your wound clean and covered. It can take few weeks or months for wound to fully heal. Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS

If you ask ten plastic surgeons this you will likely get ten different answers.  There are many ways to treat small open wounds like you have.  This is the most common location for this to happen as well following reduction.  I typically have my patients wash the area twice daily with gentle soap and a wash cloth to remove the exudate (greenish film) and apply a thin layer of bacitrain ointment with a non-stick bandage.  For wounds that are larger, or that have a bit more drainage, I often use silver algenate.  I would recommend calling your surgeon's office and asking his/her preference.  I am sure they will be happy to help you manage this :)
