I have one incision that is giving me fits. I clean it at least three times a day and I guess I lost some of the glue that held it together. Now it's bleeding. ( thick and dark red) any suggestions to get it to stop? Other than that its been a great journey so far!!

Re: Incision help!!!
Go to your primary care physician or an urgent care clinic. Don't take the risk that something may be wrong.

Re: Incision help!!!
Get it checked out by your surgeon or primary care physician. The last thing you need is for it to get infected. Your doctor will most likely not stitch or glue it again due to infection risk, but may sterilize-strip it closed.
Good Luck!!!

Re: Incision help!!!
My drain hole was the only real weepy area for me. I kept all incisions covered with antibacterial ointment on it. And kept a tight fitting camisole (t-shirt) on under everything to protect and support the entire area. Ofcourse agree with the others, when you believe there's a real problem, have it looked at by a doctor.
