Asked By:DanaJohnson in Calgary, AB

I noticed 2 days ago that I had some discharge under the tape under my right breast where the two incisions meet. Upon closer investigation I see a hole. I emailed a picture to my PS office (I am two hours away) and was advised this is quite common and that I should leave it open with polysporin and let it heal over. I am concerned because the hole is about the size of the end of my pinky finger and seems rather deep. Should I be packing it instead? Or does it need more intervention than that?
