Worried about getting an Infection after removing dressing

Hi I had my lump and 1 lymph node removed last Tuesday dressing changed last Friday.  I am due to take the dressing off this Friday .  Should I put a silicone strip over it and massage with cream please? I really am concerned that if I leave no coverage the scars will get infected tia 

  • Hi redlady19 and thank you for posting.

    I am sorry to learn you needed to have a lump and lymph node removed and I hope you are making a good recovery following your surgery.

    Unfortunately, we cannot let you know about your dressing because we are not involved in your care. I wondered if you had a nurse specialist (CNS) you could contact, who knows your situation or perhaps a practice nurse at your GP surgery. They are better placed to advise you on how to manage your dressing.

    I hope you continue well with your recovery.

    Take care
