Crepey skin on neck after thyroidectomy: Will it go away on it's own?

December 10, 2017
Asked By:CherylAnnOC in Newport Beach, CA

I had a total thyroidectomy three weeks ago, 11/21/2017. After two weeks, the surgeon removed the Steristrips on the incision. The incision looked good. But in a few days, I noticed that the skin above and below the incision is very crepey. My Thyroid was very large, and I am very thin, so the surgeon removed some skin during the thyroidectomy. Will this crepey skin get better on it's own? If not, what treatment will improve it's appearance? I plan to start Silagen sheets in a few days.
