November 2014 Surgeries

[mizkirsty]

My providers (THG) advice was If you had glue, don't pick it Keep them dry, wear a dressing in the shower Don't soak in the bath I left my glue on for about 2 weeks, then once the glue is flakey, wash them gently, pat them dry I know everyone is different, and listen to your provider for your aftercare, so its a personal opinion But the cream I used is called bepanthen, its used for healing after tattoos & for nappy rash etc You can buy it anywhere, its not expensive I use it 3 times a day, massage it in after your shower, and before bed Some people use bio oil, as I say its personal choice. X

When did you start using the cream? Xx

I've only Managed two hot chocolates and a slim fast since surgery. I had that Bc that's what I've fancied. I've got no hunger or desire to eat atm! But I'm sure that'll come back soon!
