Had 17yr old saline impants, under muscle removed 5 days ago. They covered insision with tegaderm. Tegaderm came off and smelled so I took them all off. Sprayed with saline. Should i put guaze or a tegaderm back over? Neosporine? Theres also a place that doesn't look sewn together, it burns a bit. My follow up isnt for 4 more days. Thanks for the help.
