shud i contact the nurse???

When i had my strapping off…?they ripped some of my skin off with it! It’s scabby and Pusey and keeps sticking to my bras… Don’t know what to do!!! 🙁

Also How long do u need to wait before driving??

I would call incase of infection driving is two weeks I have heard

Yea if defiantly call your nurse. Get some antiseptic wipes and clean it and put a bandage on it for now so it doesn’t keep sticking to your bra. You can drive when you can perform an emergency stop. I was driving after 8 days xx

I rang n she didn’t say much I rang the out of hours number n said I need to see a nurse but there shut today she will try get me a appointment tomorrow GREAT

Mine was the same, I had 3 sores where the strapping ripped my skin, they kept sticking to my bras and I ripped the scab off everytime I took bra off. I bought some none adhesive dressings and put them over them till they dried up.

I was covered in blisters from the strapping as was allergic and was told do not put plasters on. Mine would stick to my sports bra so I bought some non adhesive sterile dressings from Sainsburys and tucked them down my sports bra between the blisters and bra material so it didn’t rub or stick and kept them germ free. Nurse said that was fine and used sudocrem here and there to help healing and create a barrier. The nurse at MYA said it was all I needed to do and worked fine x

Thanks girls so do u think I shud bother going to see the nurse tomorrow n not go bk to work? Really scared to drive to as it’s only been 10 days xx

I had a scab underneath my boob that wouldn’t heal and would weep and stick to my bra and the scab would come off everytime I took my sports bra off. I popped some toilet tissue between bra and scab at night and when I had a shower I would lie on bed for a few hours airing the wound and letting it dry.. it was fine in a few days.. I kept taking pics of scab on my phone so I could see it without messing and touching my boob.

Better safe than sorry.

Driving shouldnt be an issue but I would recommend seeing the nurse.
