Mum, 64, had successful lap surgery removed right ovary & cyst. post op care? also water boils near incision sites. using lactofine lotion on them ok?

Follow up: After laparoscopic surgery, most patients can resume normal activities relatively quickly. Consult your surgeon in this regard. "water boils" near incision sites are frequently blisters related to the adhesive in the dressings used to cover the incisions. Keep these sites clean and dry, and see your surgeon in his office for a postop visit as directed by him.
