Asked By:eatsleepmove in Vancouver, BC

I had a facelift/neck lift 3 weeks ago. My right earlobe suture came out last Wednesday, my Dr stitched my whole ear up again, removed the stitches approx 5 days later, this Wed & today (Sat) after showering my lobe was bleeding and is not attached any better. I don't smoke, no issues that would effect healing. Problem, wound care, I had a bad reaction to Polysporin so am asking for suggestions for wound care and how to get this ear to heal as fast as possible. Just use Vaseline?
