Hi,
Today I had a mole removed, I was originally worried that my arm was still numb after quite a few hours, but I'm starting to get a bit of feeling back.
However, the clear part of the plaster that's covering the stiches is now bright red and very itchy. I noticed it was a little bit red earlier and it's been gradually getting worse, and is almost burning now.
I know this can't be a really serious reaction otherwise it would have gone red almost instantly surely?
Is it safe to leave for tomorrow? Has anyone had this before? I need to keep the dressing on for 12 days, and I'm worried it might do some damage.
Thanks,
