We had our post surgery follow up appt last week and when they took off the steri-strips from the incision site, the part which has a "skin island" (a piece of skin they took off during surgery and then put back), was looking a little bluish instead of nice and pink. They told us to watch it over the weekend and if the skin starts getting darker that the "skin island" was not taking and could be dying. By Sunday night it was no longer pink and we decided to head back to Houston 1st thing Monday morning to have it checked out.
So I called as soon as the office opened at 7:30am and was told to come on over to have it checked out. We head out to Houston for a check-up and was back home around 8pm. The doctor was ok with the way it was healing, said it should scab over and peel off and be fine underneath. Clean often with peroxide and apply Bactroban twice a day were the orders.
Still looks yucky to me! :)
