Asked By:lolo617 in Miami, FL

Hello, I'm 5 days post lipo in my abdomen. I have 7 small incisions (2 lower abdomen, 2 lower back, 2 under my breasts and 1 mid upper back) a couple of the incisions seem a little red and feel kind of itchy, is this normal? I have been rinsing with just water in the shower the past 2 days and putting on neosporin and a band aid before I put on my compression garment. Is it alright to wash the incision sites? Is it okay to wash and condition my hair or is that going to make it more inflamed?
