Asked By:ccampanian in Missoula, MT

Hey(: I just have a quick question, I just recantly had a BA on June 28th.. I recently made the mistake of covering my steri strips with bandaids rather then Gauze as it’s easier and conseils nicely with my skin.. however when I removed the bandaids later that evening it ripped out a couple of my steri strips on my left breast! It didn’t necessarily hurt it was just uncomfortable.. here’s a pic of the insisions, do they look okay? Should I be worried? I’ve been putting polyporin on it regularly..
