Asked By:eschoto in Randolph nj

As i was slowly pulling of the one strip to have incison cleaned with saline the one scab came off and started to bleed but then seemed to show small hole at where strip was. I do feel some discomfort at site like a small tingling feeling as though im being pinched with needle just not too painful. Discharge is puss creamcolor. I put a lot more strips back on to try to close is as if im pulling the outside skin in towards the nipple to see if it closes . what should i do ?
