I am on day 11 post up and I had an open rhinoplasty. My columella is healing fine however just inside my nostril the incisions on both sides seems to be scabbing over and it smells odd. Is it infected? What do I do if that's infected ? Can I use Neosporin? I admit that I did use it before but I don't think it's helping.. :(
I had my pre op apt for a rhino but all I was given was a form with medical care supplies to buy for after surgery. List included: gauze, peroxide, Neosporin, and qtips but they failed to explain what I need to do with these things. The apt was rushed and I did not have the time to ask the questions I wanted. I was told I would see my nose for the first time 1wk later. So what are all these supplies for then?
I have gotten an angiofibroma bumped removed by a dermatologist And I had a shave biospy done to remove it. It has now been 4 weeks and a couple days or mabye even 5 weeks and its still dented. I have been puting neosporin on and off will this flatten out soon..or later.. or will it stay like this. Im very worried and self conscious right now.
I had surgery 10 days ago, on day 7 my cast and stitches were removed. One if my nostrils is irritated and the incision is not healing as nicely as the other ones in the columella and other nostril. I applied Neosporin to it but I feel it doesn't help much and it's a little irritated in fact I think the Neosporin irritates it more. I'm afraid It will be more noticeable in that area. What should I do to heal it and prevent bad scaring? Thanks!
I had a closed revision rhinoplasty almost 3 weeks ago. Since the surgery, I noticed the nasal mucosa is lumpy, bumpy, and irregular inside the nostrils up against the septal wall (where the incisions were made). The right nostril is much more lumpy and irregular compared to the left nostril which has a smoother surface. What causes this and will it smooth out over time or is it a result of the way incisions were closed, etc? It doesn't feel infected; I've been using neosporin just in case.
