I did not try an ace bandage. I thought about it once...then realized how much I would need since I have four incisions. But I will remember it for next time. I am not using anything on them now. They got so irritated with anything I did. I started wearing a tank top under my t-shirt and that held the bandages, mostly. Now they are really dry. Wondered if I should put vaseline on them now. My dermatologist had me use only vaseline on a spot on my face where she cut something out.

Thanks for the tips
