My doctor took of the tape and there was a blister on my incision he told me to just put peroxide to let it dry out , the following week I went back and there is now a thick scab He told me to peel it off But I've been doing a lot of reading and I heard it not good to peel off scabs and I should leave it alone and let it fall off by itself Please help, I really don't want to just peel it off it sounds so painful and I don't want a thick scar Can someone please let me know what is best to do?
