Asked By:Jumps99 in Fort Myers

I'm 5 weeks full TT. garment was too small & too tight cut off circulation leaving me with small necrosis. It's now opening up, I'm worried about getting infection & need to know the proper way to address this issue. Will I need to do a vac treatment? Will I need skin graft or only a small skin revision? I was instructed to use antibacterial soap and keep it clean and dry. Now that the area has opened up, should I be using anything on it to prevent infection? When can I get a scar revision?
