Hi. I had lumpectomy and node excision a few days ago. The steristrips came right off the incision when iTook the tape off 48 hrs. later. It swelled at first and today it is flaming red but not swollen. Is this normal?

    I had no tape, so I'm not

    I had no tape, so I'm not sure.  I was superglued back together.  It's a day later-- is it better?

    hi, thanks for checking in. It was really sore last night but seems to be calming down. I called the nurse line this morning, but no return call yet! I am not a happy camper with them right now.
