I had my tummy tuck 10 days ago & my doctor removed the drainage the day after surgery, he kept the scar covered for 1week then cleaned it with saline & told me to take a shower &thats it..I kept cleaning the scar with betadine & dressing for 3 days till i noticed theres raw area in the center & little red fluid coming from it, my PS told me to remove the dressing & stop the betadine, and just wash it with normal water and put fucidine or mebo cream on the raw area for 3 days, is that normal?
