Part of the skin glue came off today, What is this white spot on my inframmary incision? (photo)

Question

Part of the skin glue came off today on my incision. See the white spot? I'm scared especially since I haven't even seen my PS since the surgery. I'm freaking out and I keep coming here. I don't live close to his office so I called/emailed pics and they have yet to call me back or answer emails. Honestly, it's pissing me off. I think that is unprofessional. I am going to attempt calling again and if I don't hear back, I will call another PS in the area! But in the meantime pls pls advise!

It looks like from the photo that you have a slight separation of the incision. Usually this goes on to heal without a problem after local wound care. Best to check with a plastic surgeon locally.

Robert Whitfield, MD · Answer

This could represent many things depending on how your wound was closed.  Sutures can be close to the skin edge and a gap develops and then there is a small opening.  Until you can be seen please cleanse the area in the shower normally.  After that applying a thin lyre of antibiotic ointment over the area and covering with a bandage that seals on all edges to protect this area.
