How to treat an irritated incision?

May 8, 2016
Asked By:newlook001 in California, CA

I had surgery 10 days ago, on day 7 my cast and stitches were removed. One if my nostrils is irritated and the incision is not healing as nicely as the other ones in the columella and other nostril. I applied Neosporin to it but I feel it doesn't help much and it's a little irritated in fact I think the Neosporin irritates it more. I'm afraid It will be more noticeable in that area. What should I do to heal it and prevent bad scaring? Thanks!
