What Can I Do For a Wound that Won't Heal 8 Weeks Post-Op BA Under the Fold?

Asked By:Goin bigger

Just when I thought it was healing, I applied a hydrocolloid bandage trying to speed up the process but when i removed it, ir reopened with some pus. I have since only been putting polysporin on it and nothing else. Can i use the nexcare steri strips to help protect it from my bra?
