Should I be worried about a small hole after lumpectomy scab came off?

Just make sure you keep It clean, they glued my Incision so I didn’t have to worry about it. How are you doing otherwise?

I was all glued up...but the glue is coming off. Everything else is looking good. Ended up calling er on call nurse just to verify. We are good. Go for my follow up tomorrow with the surgeon

Just make sure it doesn't get anything down in it and if that's what they want is to keep it covered then You stuck to the plan they have with your healing process!

Just watch it. Signs of infection : redness & oozing, warm to touch area around site...keep clean & dry. See if u can reinforce 4x4 or get larger band aid to cover area. Call your Dr if u think its infected..good luck

Did your Dr tell you to do that twice a day? My wife had a lumpectomy about 3 weeks ago. The plastic surgeon checked it after a week. She had the other breast reduced to try to match the one the cancer was removed from. They removed the elastic bandages, cleaned everything up and removed the drains. They removed some tape and retaped it. I asked if I should change any dressing and they said no. Just leave it, it's healing. If it becomes red, irritated or too itchy, call my office right away. Try to keep it dry. You can shower but don't face the shower. Let it hit your back. We see him again next week.

It's completely understandable to feel concerned about any changes to your surgical site during recovery. Small holes where scabs have come off can be a normal part of the healing process, but this is definitely something worth checking with your surgical team about, especially since you're only two weeks post-surgery. Keeping the area clean and covered as you're doing is important, and your healthcare provider can give you the best guidance on whether this needs any specific attention or monitoring.
