HI,
I am Day 5 post LIS, skin tag removal, and fissurectomy surgery. I am healing well though I am still bleeding a bit from the skin tags. I have a ladies incontinent underwear on because it absorbs the blood nicely and I feel safe and dry with it on. I am not incontinent! Anyhow, at this point my incision bothers me a bit, stings and sore a bit. I looked in the mirror and I see the perianal area is very sore and there is a ridge like skin, resembling a skin tag but not a skin tag. Or maybe it is?
Anyhow, I have read people putting coconut oil, vaseline, hydrocortisone cream, even diaper rash ointment on their bum. Is this ok to do or would it delay healing? I just feel like my perianal area is very tight and pulling like it may tear like a pressure but not so intense.
I see the DR this coming Monday but if you have any advice before then, would be greatly appreciated. I think I remembering him saying post surgery putting creams may delay recovery.
Please advise...thanks!
