Hi Doctor

You replied to a thread about a problem with a pea sized are on my nipple that wont heal. I am now nearly 6 weeks post op and it still hasnt healed. My PS has advised me to use a netting dressing (I think it has iodine on it ) with a waterproof dressing on top and to change this twice a week, my nurse at my family doctors has advised me to change the dressing every other day. What advice would you give, it is no better, but no worse. Should I keep it dry or is it ok to shower. ?

By the way I saw a programme that featured you on a

British TV channel. I found it really interesting. And proudly told my husband you had answered a thread I posted.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Many thanks

Gaynor

Hi. I really cannot give you medical advice about your condition as I was not your surgeon and cannot even examine you.

These are questions best answered by a physician who can see you.

Glad you enjoyed the TV show. It's the second season of "Big Medicine" and my patients will be featured on most of the weekly episodes.

Best,

Thanks Dr for responding. I think fingers crossed it is starting to knit together. So hopefully it will soon be fully healed.
