Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hello I had an emergency appendectomy 18 days ago. The sterostrips were taken off early. The dr was notified. When I went for my follow up visit 12 days after my surgery the big insicion on my side had a thick scab. The dr said I could put neosporin and bandaids on it.
