Hi
DD has had a plaster cast on her arm for 3 weeks following a break and surgery to insert a plate. Due to come off in 10 days.
She says it's really itchy for the last couple of days. It smells in there too.
Peering carefully in, it looks like there has been further bleeding/oozing (she had surgery but after initial 2 weeks it looked dried) and that maybe the dried blood on the lining is causing the scratching.
Any thoughts on whether it could / should be removed early / replaced?
Not sure whether to ignore, go to walk in centre or phone for earlier consultant appointment (which would have to wait until monday).
Thanks!
