I am 8 days post op and I got told by my surgeon to remove my tape every two days and put new tape on, it was my first time changing it today it really hurt taking the tape off, now my right one is in agony but only on the incision(scar) and my left one feels fine. Should I be cleaning it when I change the tape to stop infection? And should it be changed every two days? Because when I took it off The scabs came of with it. Also is there a painless way to remove the tape
