Is this an open wound? Steri stip fell off 9 days post op.

Asked By:loulou7777 in Phoenix, AZ

I had my implants removed with an en bloc. I had drains, and the entire recovery I was complaining of itchy and pain on my right breast. Figured it was the drains. Drains got removed yesterday and the painful itchy burn has continued. Today at my shower my steri strip came off and I noticed a lot of red bumps along with an area that looks to be open! It’s a little bubble of tissue it looks like. The steri strip had ooze on it as well. What can I do for this? My PS is gone for a week. Thank you!
