Directions

I was instructed to put gauze on my incision since my skin hates band aids and now I am dealing with the gauze ripping my my scabs off even when being pulled gently and causing me to bleed I then spend half an hour cleaning (I become a little paranoid) the incision cites while waiting for it to stop bleeding, so my question is what can I do eliminate the pain and mess and still try to get it them to heal?

Anonymous Patient

An alternative gauze is called Telfa and available at your pharmacy. It is non adherent.
Discuss with your surgeon directly
