  7. SHOULD I APPLY TAPE...

Should I apply tape everyday for 2 weeks after cast is removed? Is steri-strip the same as regular tape?

Asked By:antonellahabib in Lebanon, TN

I'm currently 7 days post op and my cast has been removed yesterday. My Dr. Informed me to apply tape morning and night on my nose for two weeks. Is this safe? And should I use steri-strip?
