I am 23 days p/o. 4 days ago my vertical incision started to split. I went right in to my PS. He has me using triple antibiotic ointment with gauze twice a day. My concern is the amount of slough. I asked him and he said to keep doing what I’m doing. Will the wound heal without removing the slough? Note, I do not smoke, I am in regular contact with my PS, and I am following his instructions.
