A member asked:
Has a biopsy 3 days ago in the crease under my breast. the bandaid seems to be causing more pain then the wound itself. what can i do instead?

Band aids: If its a simple band aid like over the counter you can probably remove it and just place a gauze pad over the site and wear a sports bra on top. If you mean steri strips (small adhesive strips to close the wound) ask you doctor when they can be removed. Most small biopsies just need a band aid cover for 24 hours.
