Reply to "Incision pulled apart"

On the area that came apart. I pulled the area back together with some butterfly strips and went and seen my doctor. The doctor showed me me how to place/ pack the wound with a wick. wetting the wick (small cut strip on fine sterile pad 1/4"X 1-2" long)with saline. Placing this in the wound. Then place a dry sterile pad big enough to cover area taped on. This pulled the puss up out of the hole and it began healing immediately. Changing it twice per day. "the wick will dry up during the day with the puss it sucked up. Re-wet the part that touches the wound before changing or you will pull skin off.

"Go see the Doctor" Every wound is different. The doctor will give you the wick strips to use.
