Chrissy! Leave it alone! Let your Dr take care of it, call the nurse or
something, but don't go cutting on yourself.
As far as your beauty, I can tell you are a beautiful person where it
counts, you have been a great new friend to me and a piller of support
to many, I can tell by reading the message boards.
Your beauty is full and intact so worry not.
After I had my Hystorectomy, they left the staples in for 2 weeks and
the staples began to pull at my skin and became awfully uncomfortable,
so one day I pulled one out, opps, the skin of the incision popped open,
now I have a clean scar except for at the very top where I pulled that
staple, the scar is a little wider and poofs out a little.
In Short......Don't do that!
God Bless and Take Care of You
