Blaaaaaaaaaaaaarg
I'm seeking amateur medical advice.
They took the drain out yesterday and said to keep a bandaid on it until it stops seeping.
Well, it still hasn't stopped. It's less, it's not dripping, but it's still oozing a little. Problem is, I've gotten a really painful rash from the bandaids. I can't bear the thought of putting another on. On the one hand, exposing it to air should help it crust over. On the other hand, it hasn't actually crusted over yet after over an hour and I'm coming up on bedtime. And even if it does crust over, I'm worried it will open up while I'm sleeping (I tend to toss and turn).
Any ideas for alternates to bandaids?
