Is this T junction wound healing properly? Does it look necrotic? 1 month post-op breast reduction. (photos)

Asked By:briana531 in Birmingham, AL

I had a breast reduction almost 4 weeks ago and this wound in the T junction is scary looking. When they took the steristrips off there was “blistering” underneath and they ended up having to take some stitches out that were trying to come through. I was told to put ointment on and cover. It looks like it is getting worse to me. The black spots in the wound are NOT scabs. Is it necrotic? How often do I need to change my dressings?
