I tried to change my own dressing yesterday. DW is useless at these things. Any how when I started  to ease the top dressing off some of the steri strips were stuck to the dressing. Lazy bugger surgeon didn't use stitches.

I had to re-stick the old dressing back down. I wish I had one of our nurse members here to assist me.

In the end steri strips may leave a neater scar - provided that they are strong enough to keep the wound closed. I sliced a finger open on Easter Sunday. The doctor I visited steri stripped rather than stitched. Wound fell open a few times which was annoying but I think it's probably a neater scar because I don't have the little holes from the stitches surrounding it although it is perhaps wider than it might have been if there were stitches.

Hope it heals well for you. I visited another doctor a few days later who kindly stuck the wound back together for me. From then on I could do it myself.

DD, you can buy steri strips from the chemist. Just make sure that the two edges of the skin are put together as neat as possible (don't leave a gap and don't overlap) before applying fresh steri strips.
Don't want an ugly scar ruining your boyish good looks.

That would be devastating

Thanks Michelle. The chemist only had the skinny steri strips and DW couldn't look at the wound site to help me apply them. The edges of the wound are sticking together nicely, the strips are now just keeping it from opening back up.

I went to the a& e at mt local hospital when I hit back home and a lovely nurse redressed it for me.

That's good DD. Poor DW, some people just can't deal with wounds or any thought of blood.
I can't give myself eyedrops.
