Steri strips

Hello. Was told to leave mine on. They would soften and come loose after shower. I had to trim them but fully came off after about a month. I'd leave alone if you can as it will aid healing. Didnt get post surgery review by nurse at my hospital due to covid measures x

Hello Gazeebo,

I would guess it would be wise to leave well alone, if they are well stuck you don`t want to open the wound, that could lead to huge

problems.

Do you have a community nurse? they do a great job and are expert in wounds and dressings and stuff.

You could also telephone your local chemo unit or the site where you had the operation done.

Hope this helps.

Hi, Tired Minion had them on for a month, so I think I'll leave them be and wait for them to drop off. Many thanks for answering. 

Hi, many thanks for answering, I'll leave them alone then, especially as I'm squeamish!
