Asked By:mlr091867 in Detroit, MI

I am 3 weeks post op breast reduction surgery, and one of my wounds is troublesome at the T point. My doctor removed all dressings, and I wear a sports bra 24/7. I originally was using pantiliners in my sports bra, but whenever I change it daily the scab comes off in same spot. I then started using 'no stick gauze', but I've been using almost a week, and same thing; it's still not healing properly. No discharge or foul smell, but it won't heal. Any suggestions?
