My steri strip was starting to smell and fall off the skin so I removed it. Does my incision look okay?

Thanks for your question. Wounds can have an oder. Cleanse and apply triple
antibiotic ointment and cover 2x per day. Contact your Plastic surgeon to examine you today. 

Thank you for your picture.  It is hard to tell exactly what is going on due to the angle of your picture.  If is had a smell to it I would see your PS ASAP to make sure that it is not infected.Earl Stephenson, Jr, MD,DDS, FACS

Please give you surge a call.  The staff will help guide you further.  The phot can be a little difficult to tell what is going on with your incision.

Hi there and thanks for the question and the picture. Now I will always encourage patients to stick to the instructions of their surgeon. Nonetheless if the steri-strips started to smell, I don't see any reason not to remove them. I would suggest not to reapply anything. Just clean the incision with running soap of water. Good luck
