Asked By:aarivera530

My bandages over the incisions have still not fallen off. They smell horrible. almost like garbage that has been in a hot sun for weeks. obviously it’s summer so that does not help but is this normal that hey have not all fallen off yet and smell this bad? They also still hurt and are sensitive to the touch? i’ll be contacting my surgeon just to make sure but any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
