[quote=Anonymous]There is no way for me to contact the doctor because this was done at a radiology providers. Their customer service does not have nurses... So, I have two bandages. One is of Steri-strips, which act as a stitch and help the wound close. One is Tera Derm on top of the Steri-strips. This is a "see through" bandage often used to keep IV needles in place. The directions said the top bandage could come off after 3-4 days. When I tried to remove it, the Steri-strips started to come off, but they are supposed to stay on for seven days. My current plan is to keep everything on until seven days since I see no signs of infection, but I've seen directions from other providers that say the bandage should be changed every day?? The only reason I want to remove the top bandage is because it's irritating my skin and sometimes [i]very [/i]itchy, especially when I exercise and sweat. Has anyone else been through this and know what is the best course of action? [/quote]
