Steri stips came off in shower today and...

[jingleboob 5]

looks a little icky. greenish puss from 2 of the 5 incisions... the others are perfect and barely visible. it's only one end of each that's a little open with the greenish puss (sorry- i hate that word). Mom's an RN and I can't get a hold of her to see if it can't wait to be addressed on Tuesday morning when I have my post op appointment. Attaching a pic, but it's not the greatest quality...

Just want to not over or under react here!!! Thanks...

Green puss sounds like something you wanna call the Doc about! Does it have an odor, and do you have a fever??

Good luck, and let a doctor take a look at it!

Is it more like the goo from a wet scab where the shower Water was trapped under the steri strip? Mine was like that and the Dr. said to just use some peroxide on a qtip to help dry it back down again.

No fever, can't smell anything as i'm completely stuffed up!

Mom finally called and said it looks a little angry and to clean it, put bandaids on, and do it again at bedtime... if it's still oozy and green then I should call the doc first thing in the AM so he can call in an antibiotic as it shouldn't wait until Tuesday.

Thanks for the feedback! I was a little freaked for a while!!!

I definitely wouldn't wait till Tuesday. Your Mom's advice sounds great though!
