I have been instructed by my doctor to remove my steri strips. I was advised to remove them while in the shower. I removed some of the steri strips, but found the process to hurt. I read online that baby oil and peroxide could be placed on top of the steri strips to loosen them up. I am not sure how safe this for my incisions. I also wanted to know what type of cleaning solution if any (neosporin) should be placed on the incisions to keep them from becoming infected?
