Skin peeling off after breast reduction - 2 weeks post-op. (photo)

marcellabrazil13
I had a breast reduction done about 2 weeks ago. I was checking my breast today and noticed the skin around the incision is peeling off and showing some pink. I called the hospital and sent them this picture. The nurse said it looks okay because she doesn't see any infection. Should I be worried? Or can it just be because of the steri strip?
