Hi girls I have an infected incision the hospital given me antibiotics &
have told me to use antiseptic to clean it…..
but I’m reading online not too as it can damage the skin ? & mess up healing. Would like a second opinion as not sure if the doctor was right. Thank you
You need to clean it just like the doctor had advised you. It won’t damage the skin.. it will damage it if the instruction from the doctor isn’t followed since it’s infected and you want to prevent anything more escalating
…I would trust your doctor
