I'm 3 weeks post TT. And there is an Oder coming from the tape over my incision. Is it normal for it smell? It's not red, burning or any signs of an infection. Just wanted to see if this is normal.

Answer: Odor from incision tape Thanks for your question. It may be normal for the dressing to have a slight odor if it has been in place for several weeks. Best to be seen in person by your surgeon to make sure there is no evidence of underlying infection.
