How to get the medical glue off my incision/skin?

August 10, 2017
Asked By:swtbbygrl in Fairfax, VA

My dr put glue on my nipple incision area, its been 2 weeks and the glue is taking so long to come off and when I try to peel it hurts as its pulling on me. Is there a way I can get it to come off easier? Should I dry it out or put oil on it? I want to put scar gel on but the glue is half in my way while other parts of the incision is showing.

Should my breast implant incision scars look like this 3 months post-op? (photos)
Tiffany McCormack, MD says:

It is not uncommon for scars to remain red for up to a year, sometimes as long as 2 years.  That being said, silicone gel sheets or products would probably help them fade much sooner if you are prone to hypertrophic scars.  Your surgeon can help guide you toward healing as quickly as possible.
