Went to the clinic I got surgery from today, and was trying out concealer to hide the redness for an occasion. Turned out I did not like the concealer, and the patient coordinator proceeded to very vigorously rub the area with an alcohol swap, so much so it was hurting, became more red, and I had a tingling sensation for quite a while after. No skin was broken, but it definitely hurt. Can this affect my grafts and the overall outcome of the surgery? Very concerned. thanks
