... for the scab to completely fall off? See. Apparently, I always have to have something to worry about. I am 5 weeks out today. There is a small spot at the end of the top of the incision that is still scabbed over and seems to be hanging on pretty tight. I will NOT pick at it!!! However, I would really like it to be gone...lol Is this normal for it to stick around for so long??? Happy 4th to yinz all!!! :)

I can't really remember for certain. I know I had stuff falling off there for quite a while! I, too, did not pick. It will fall on its own!

Mine did hang around for a while but I think i was clean by 3 weeks. Just hang under the shower a while and then wipe with the towel. It soon falls off.

Mine took a long time. I remember being surprised when little pieces of dried skin continued to periodically shed. Actually I was kind of grossed out until I decided it was clean (I wash my hair everyday) just taking a VERY long time. We are talking months for the part covered by hair. It will fall off when it is ready.

I am also five weeks out of surgery and am experiencing the same thing. So if it makes you feel any better, we're both in the same boat.

I had a little bit more fall off last night....lol Just a little bit more to go!!! Thank you.. it does make me feel better!!!!! ;D

Hi. Yes, I had a tiny little nub at one end of the incision that hung around for months. I did finally pick at it and it did finally go away, but I don't remember when. It didn't hurt anything and was not a "problem".

I'm 6 weeks post surgery and the scab grosses me out. I still have most of the scab still attached. The scab for the lumbar drain site just dropped off. When I went for my hearing test last week the nurse practitioner gently cleaned the incision to remove loose scab.
