I had a breast reduction 3 1/2 weeks ago. About a week after surgery I started getting a wound under my breast where the inverted T met. My doctor gave me Silvadene. I have been using it for 2 1/2 weeks and it is better but the Silvadene has made an almost off white rubbery cover over the areas in some places. Is this normal? My doctor's nurses have given conflicting instructions, one saying use non stick gauze tokeep it moist and the other using regular gauze but it dries in.
