to come out tomorrow. They hurt and are burning for some reason today. I put peroxide on it this morning when I changed the water proof large bandaid.

Glad you are almost past this point. How miserable that sounds. Hope all goes well tomorrow.

They just keep pulling and pulling. I looked at the incision last night , I had to change the bandage and put peroxide on it and it was strange the way he did the stitches. I have a large long , about two inches bump and the stitches are below it.

How did it go? Are they out yet? I can't imagine how this must feel.

Hope you were able to get them out alright.

Stiches are SO itchy before you get them out.
How is your skin doing today? Did you dilute the peroxide? It's a wee bit too strong to put on your skin directly without diluting it and can burn the skin.

Will have to wait till Monday. He had an emergency .
Was told to take bandage off and let it air out for a few days. yes the could of taken them out but he wants to see it to make sure it does not have to stay on longer.

Do you have any Silver Shield on hand? I'd rub it on there, and it will make it feel MUCH better. If no Silver Shield, run down to the pharmacy and pick up some liquid Vit. E. :0)

He does not want them to be wet in any way. So I put a bigger band aid on them this week end and it is dry this morning, See him at 8:30 today.
