So it's the fourth day since my surgery, and the doctor had said to keep the steri-strips on for about a week and not to pick at them, but just to let them fall off. Well...I got annoyed at them today and peeled them off...Now I'm freaking out! Did I mess something up? there was a little leakage, is that ok? I'm worried now and don't want anything bad to happen! I should have left them on, but I get annoyed with it, I'm just afraid that something bad will happen to the incisions now :(
What should I do? I put band aids over the incisions now...will that be ok?
