Hi, I’m almost 2 weeks post up. I got a partial mastectomy in one, and breast reduction in the other.
but no one told me about the skin shedding!!! It’s getting all over my surgical bra.
I think the dry skin is what’s causing the discomfort. It feels as if I’m wearing a very tight wired bra and the wire is digging in hard.
the scars are healing nicely, a lot of tugging, especially under the breast and of course, dried blood and scabs within the stitches/scars. I won’t play with the scabs and in the shower I just allow soap and water to pass over them but don’t use a wash cloth or sponge for obvious reasons.
I have some bepathen at home just wondering if it’s too early to use it to combat the dry skin or just run it on the dry skin around the scars.
Anyone use this ointment before on their surgical sites?
