there are packings with moist antiseptics then it won't stick,you also have to clean the entire scar with an antiseptc liquid, pain under the ribs is normal unless you have other symptoms.Keep an eye on the lump and if it doesn't disappeared see your Dr.again.

>Also, maybe related, maybe unrelated: I have a very sore, tender area under my ribs on the front of my body, but to the right of center. If I bend wrong or press on it it is a very severe, almost searing (burning) pain. I can feel a small lump, bump, nodule under the surface of the skin that moves around and a larger inflamed area under that. Not sure what this could be, or even if it is pregnancy related. I had no complications of pregnancy and am having no undue swelling or other symptoms now. I am breastfeeding, if it helps to know that. Again, thank you for any information you can share!
