I have more photos from my review if you need more. I was cleaning the area with warm water on a qtip and the scab came off and now the incision site looks like this. Is this normal? When the surgeon removed my stitches he also kept the scab there. He never told me to clean my nose with hydrogen peroxide or anything but now i wish i had.
