Is it very painful...?!


Question: Is it very painful...?
when you change the dressing the next day after surgery on a skin abscess?

Answers:

No.
It'll feel a little weird and very creepy, but anything that sticks will be dead cells. But live skin could be attached so don't go ripping the bandages off with abandon.



Not sure about skin abscess but i've had dressing changed day after surgery. It does hurt a little, but it's not much worse than taking off a bandaid really and once it's off the pain's gone within a few seconds.



I wouldn't call it "very painful". It may be stuck down - if it is, wet the gauze and it will come off easier.
