Large scab after decompression surgery done May 2nd

Hello,

I had decompression surgery on May 2nd. I was in the hospital for 5 days due to some complications and recovery. I had over 20 staples in my head that were removed a couple weeks later.

I have a very large scab on the top of my incision. It is very gross. My surgeon office thinks it could have been a result of leakage that has stopped and to make sure I keep it uncovered.

Has anyone else had this experience? I am 4 weeks post op and feel like I am going backwards. I am embarrassed to go out in public because I am supposed to keep my hair out of this disgusting scab. :-(

I would appreciate any feedback anyone has on this.

Thanks so much!
