I have 4 incisions, 2 of them the steri strips finally after a week feel off.  They look a little red, do i need to keep them covered or is it good to let them get some air?

    I saw the nurse today who removed my remaining strips (4 wks abdominal ) and advised after washing gently, just to pat dry with a towel, and then to use a hairdryer on low just to keep the moisture away.

    All steri strips have come off and they all look like they are healing fairly well!  I see the nurse on Wednesday and will have everything checked out
