Why are my alarplasty nostril scars becoming so red after the shower and a gentle clean around nostrils with a Qtip?

Asked By:aesthetics93 in Ottawa, ON

My alarplasty scars seemed to heal pretty well 3 weeks post op, no visible scars. But for some odd reason when I get out of the shower , with a gentle cleaning after wards the shower, they became soooo red. I never seen them this red before.... should I be worried? Does a warm shower affect or irritate these scars?
