Got a C Section what happens with the tape
What happens with the tape and are there stitches under neath them? I see black but idk I'm scared and nervous to get it removed if I have too. Not sure how this works! Help!
Never had stitches that were removable with my c sections... First one was staples second was disolvable stitched and glue no tape 3rd was the same with tape. I would say leave it alone!!!!
Definitely do not touch the tape! It will come off on it's own. There are stitches under them also. My tape loosened some and the occasional piece got loose enough to remove. When I went for my PP visit the Dr. removed the tape for me along with my stitches.
Leave the tape alone!!! Lol it will come off in time when it's ready, it helps protect the stitches underneath and keeps them from dissolving to quickly.
let it come off on its own unless your doctor says otherwise just wash carefully when you shower
