Hello!

I am 30 and just had a biopsy done on my right breast on friday. Where my steri strips are over my biopsied area I am bleeding thru them. Its not pouring thru. But it is definately new blood. I know I'm supposed to leave on those strips till the fall off but should I take them off to clean the area? I don't want an infection.

The same thing happened to me. The same day of my biopsy - in the evening - my incision started to bleed - a lot. Luckily my surgeon had office hours that night and I went in and he gave me 2 stitches. Good luck!

Don't take the steri-strips off. Talk to your doctor and he can tell you how much bleeding is normal.

Hope you get benign results.
