I had a tummy tuck two years ago, it seems to have healed completely, however I have a small round scab that will seem to be healing then open up again. It has been doing that on and off for the duration of my post op. I have contacted the surgeon and he seems unsure, help??!!
I have my full tummy tuck done 5 weeks ago with a vertical scar that doesn't seem to heal. Now it's scabing over, my plastic surgeon said it will fall off by itself but I'm scare of necrosis. I'm seeing him in 2 days and will ask for wound debribement. Should I be worried? It is completely dried and the scab seems to get smaller as the week goes by.
I am 5 weeks post op fleur de lis tummy tuck, and the T section and small area horizontally and small are vertically, are still discharging, but very minimally. I am treating them with antibacterial ointment prescribed by my PS. Just wondering if letting them air out a bit would assist in forming scab sooner. I lost 183 lbs with gastric bypass, and they removed 13 lbs of skin. I realize the T section is usually the section that takes the longest to scab up. Very happy with the results so far.
My belly button is slowly bleeding 10 days post op. It started a couple days ago after I cleaned it out with a Q tip and I think a scab came off. I started motrin that day as well and took it the next day. Could the motrin be aggravating it more? Should I just stick to Norco until it scabs up again?
I started developing this 2 weeks ago (photo with lots of scabbing and white cheesy center) my dr just says to use soap and water to clean it and cover it with a gauze and it will get better. Ive also been being seen at a wound care center where I have been told to apply Manuka honey in it for it to heal. My question is: about how long will this take to heal, and can I swim with this?? Thank u so much for the help.
A week ago the incision area had a narrow scab (pic 1). Over the weekend, the scab started oozing and my belly swelled significantly (pic 2). My doctor saw me Monday, cleaned out the wound, assured me its normal and looks great. 3 days have passed & I am still concerned with the swelling, oozing and now the darkening of the skin around the incision (pic 3) and how this will look healed. Im cleaning it and using bacitracin twice daily. How normal is this, really?
