How long did it take your incision to scab over?



Recommended Posts

I am 6 days post op and my large incision (I'm assuming my port incision) still hasn't scabbed over and doesn't look like it has any intention of doing so any time soon. I emailed my doc some pics and he said it looks fine and will scab over once it stops oozing but I'm just wondering when this will be. Before the steri strips fall off I hope? How long did it take your incision to scab over or has it yet?

I had my bandage on it for like 10 days....the Sterile strips wouldn't fall off....so about 12 days after surgery I just pulled them off. I've been keeping neosporin on them, and they are good. The scabbing is all gone now on all of my incisions.

I don't think my incisions ever scabbed up. I pulled my steri strips off around day 13. and the incision was closed.

I have had other surgery too, and I never had any scabbing.

I pulled my steri strips off on day 7 like they said in our discharge papers we could. My incisions were closed....but really very little scabbing. Mine also look pretty good.

I am 8 days post op and I just pulled the steri strips off today. I am very surprised at my incisions. I have the normal 5, but 3 of them are very tiny puncture like wounds, then I have one down on the right side that is like a 1/2 inch long (if that), and my port is on my left side just above my belly button and to the left is only about an inch long. All have very little scabbing and all were glued and steri stripped, no stitches.My port incision is completely scabbed over and very ready to come off. All in all I am very pleased with this. I will have very little scarring if any. Dr. Zapata did an amazing job!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
