That looks painful. My dr used a glue and no sutures or staples. Glue just wore off after a week or so. With that redness, I would definitely keep on eye on it.

Yeah it hurts but I have a appt. Monday do you thank it will be ok

Probably. If is starts to ooze, I would at least maybe call the dr exchange. I was instructed to NOT put antibiotic cream or anything on mine but to call with redness, tenderness or oozing. 3 of my 4 incisions healed almost immediately. I still have one that is not quite healed but I have been making sure to keep it clean. I think it is healing slower because it is right under my right breast and even with a bra on, was not getting a whole lot of air to it.

Looks to me like you're allergic to the staples. I think you'll be okay if you wait to see the doc on Monday--hopefully he will take them out then.

Monday should be good. But see if your doctor has an answering service and call in your symptoms to be sure.

that would make sense because all my incision sites look like this

None of us on here are your doctor, even if someone is a doctor.

Mine were glued and taped too. That looks painful, but I have one that still hurts some. I would ice that to keep swelling and redness down. Ice has saved me this last few weeks.
