My main problem, post op, was iodine burn and allergic reaction to waterproof dressings and, especially, the steri-strips placed over my incisions by the nurse at my GP surgery.
It might sound daft but the pain, blistering, burning, itching and irritation caused by the iodine was by far more distressing than any pain/discomfort associated with the surgery.
Indeed, the blistering caused by the steri-strips has left scarring as visible as the surgical incisions. Thankfully my skin calmed approximately 3 weeks post op (until then I was using various creams and antihistamines to try and ease the symptoms).
