What is a Skin Graft?

Sometimes the wounds from skin cancer surgery or trauma leave large gaps that stitches cannot close. Specialist plastic surgeons use skin grafts to fill these gaps.

They take healthy skin from one part of the body and transplant it to cover skin that is damaged or missing. Within a few days, the grafted skin starts to develop blood vessels and connect to your own tissue. To know more about Skin Graft, visit the Peau Radiant Skin Care website or call 0452131286.

A skin graft involves transplanting healthy skin from another part of your body to an area that has not healed or has lost too much skin. The surgeon removes the top two layers of your skin from one site (the donor site). Then, they move these layers to the graft site and secure them with stitches or staples.

This operation can be done on your face, hands or other parts of your body. It is usually done under local anaesthetic. Your provider will make the area numb with an injection or anaesthetic cream.

You will have a scar at the donor and graft sites. Initially the scar will have a raised grid-like appearance, which will fade to a more natural look as it heals. You will need to protect the grafted area with high factor sun creams and protective clothing for 2 years. It is important to avoid activities that could stretch or damage the graft until your doctor tells you it’s safe to resume.

There are 2 main types of skin graft. Partial-thickness grafts are where a thin layer of skin (as thin as tissue paper) is removed from an area that heals well, usually the thigh or buttocks. This will leave a scar that fades to a natural colour over time.

The graft site and the original donor site will be covered by dressings. These will be checked and replaced by nurses at regular intervals. You will be asked not to get the graft wet (except when bathing) and to avoid physical activity that could damage it.

Generally, continuous 5-0 plain gut sutures are used to inset the graft. Four-corner bolster sutures are also placed to secure the graft. Antibiotic ointment will be applied to the graft and the bolster. If you experience bleeding at the graft site or redness and swelling in the original donor site contact your doctor as soon as possible. This may indicate that the graft is not ‘taking’.

Many people need skin graft surgery because their wounds are too large for stitches alone. Your doctor will talk to you about the risks before your operation.

You'll be given medications to control pain and prevent infection after your procedure. You may need to stay in hospital for a few days after the operation while your graft heals.

The graft site and the donor area will heal at different speeds. You won't be able to tell how well the graft is healing until you see your surgeon again, when they remove the dressings.

Sometimes the body's natural reaction to a new graft causes overgrowth of tissue at the graft site. This is called overgranulation and can make the graft feel tight. Over time, this can cause the graft to contract slightly. This is especially a problem with split-thickness grafts around joint creases. Your doctor can advise on treatments to dampen down this overgrowth. In rare cases the graft can fail, and if this occurs it usually happens within the first few weeks after surgery.

Most patients having a skin graft will be discharged on the same day of surgery. If you are having a split skin graft over a joint or near tendons, you will need to be kept immobile while the graft heals. This may involve a plaster splint.

Initially the graft will swell as it gets engorged with plasmatic fluid. This is normal and will subside as blood and lymph vessels grow into the graft and connect it with the local tissue. This is called 'taking' and usually occurs within five to seven days. To know more about Skin Graft, visit the Peau Radiant Skin Care website or call 0452131286.

The donor site will bleed at the time of grafting and should be covered with a dressing until it is healed. The graft site may also sting and ooze a little, this is normal. It is important to call your doctor if you notice a significant increase in pain, swelling and redness, or a bad smell from the wound. You should also contact your doctor if you have a fever, vomiting or other signs of infection.

yknow before i went to pt and got clocked for hypermobility i may have been tired and in pain all the time but at least i wasn't COVERED in tape and leftover tape goo

#idk what is going on with my skin but the kt tape leaves an insane amount of glue on me #my pt says that's normal but also she's never seen it leave AS MUCH glue on anyone as it does on me #like. if it doesnt peel off within fifteen minutes it MELDS itself to me #and then istg the fabric itself starts pulling away and LEAVING THE GLUE BEHIND. LIKE ALL OF THE GLUE #if its my knees or feet i can sort of try and peel it off a little at a time #but we tape my shoulders/traps/paraspinals too and i can't. reach that #so there's just. so much glue residue #IM SO STICKYYYY #also. im gonna have some really interesting tan marks this summer lmao

“If these shoes are good enough for the military, they ought to be good enough for me” <- me the day before I end up with bloody socks because I went through an eight hour workday in shoes that chafed against my achilles really painfully, and I powered through because pain is weakness leaving the body and I’ll die before admitting to my coworkers that I am in so much pain I can’t walk.

#I got the shoes from a yardsale #the guy was getting rid of a bunch of military gear he hadn’t used #I didn’t realize they would hurt me #just needed to break them in #<- the devil in my head #my feet hurt #I really needed new work boots #and they were cheap #the amount of skin I peeled out of my socks was truly alarming #like #that should not be there

[spacebingus]

Moisturize your feet if you can. If you gotta do any body part please choose the foots and make sure to rub the extra on the hands. I learned this the unfortunate way 🙏🏻

#.txt #i walk so much and having dry ass feet is 1) a bad sensory experience once your feet leave the socks #and 2) keeps the skin from peeling

it's so weird when I get uncomfortable/creepy vibes from a character & then go online and all I see is everyone going on about how hot&sexy he is. Really makes me feel like im on another plane of existence than everyone else

#billy six feet under makes me uhhhh wanna peel my skin off #the vibes are atrocious #mine

Remus’s fav food is chicken fingers along with his deodorant of course

You know what, chicken fingers are such a like normal thing to eat, and everyone is surprised when he says that it's one of his favorites.

But, there's a catch to this.

He dips it in the most vile things and watches everyone's horrified faces as he dunks his very normal food in a very probably not edible substance.

And/or the chicken fingers are actual chickens feet and he just loves to crunch the whole thing.

#sonnyspeaks #remus sanders #I realize that people do eat chickens feet but they (from what I looked up) peel the scaly skin and take off the nails #remus just chomps them fully bones and all

[usedtobemygirl]

#my ipanema flip flops cause blisters on the bottom of my feet #my Lacoste sliders have scalped my two big toes of skin I look like a burn victim #my gladiator sandals dig in between my toes and all the skin is peeling and blistered #my feet look like they’ve been an acid attack pls help 😭😭 #I’m in pain #tbf the only shoes that I find completely comfortable are these second hand trainers and idek the make #like every other shoe I own or have ever own rubs and causes discomfort I think I will never be comfy ever honestly #txt

Here’s a fun short story I wrote for my sister- tws for skin and descriptions of peeling it (no blood or gore, just like, extreme exfoliation) 

putting it under a cut bc it’s ~long (like 1700 words)

Please Stop Peeling the Skin Off Your Feet

Every day I come home from work and find peeled skin in the kitchen. 

The kitchen. 

Now, I told Barney that if he really had to, he could peel his skin, but only in the bathroom where it can be thrown away. I don’t want to deny him his coping mechanisms, see, I’m not about that type of thing. I’m not. 

But no, he couldn’t stop there. 

A freshly peeled pile of skin sitting on the counter. 

Barney must be some kind of olympic athlete to be able to contort into whatever shape necessary to get his foot onto the counter. I don’t even wanna think about the alternative- that after peeling the skin off his foot, he then scooped it all up and put it on the counter in a little artistic pyramid. 

I don’t like Barney very much. 

He lives in his room. I don’t see him very often, I just hear the sound of crime procedurals coming from his room. 

Barney’s an interesting guy. 

“Hey, Barney?” I knocked on his door. “Hey, I don’t mean to bother you, but I noticed what looks like a pile of skin on the counter- I’m pretty sure it isn’t mine, so is it yours?” 

“What- Huh?” Something fell over in Barney’s room. A second later, he opened the door. He had a piece of sandpaper in his hand. Dust sparkled in a sunbeam illuminating the small room. 

“I don’t mean to bother you,” I began. “I just got home. Remember how we talked about not, uh, leaving your skin in the kitchen?” 

“Oh yeah!” Barney said. He held up a square inch of translucent tan. “Look at what I just got off the boys!” 

“Please don’t call them that.” 

“They’re real flaky today.” 

“I gathered. Or you did. On the counter. In a pyramid.” 

Barney grinned. “Nice touch, right? I’m trying to build up valuable skills.” 

A nagging sensation started in the back of my mind, specifically about the dust glittering in the sunlight. 

“I don’t mean to be harsh, but don’t you think it’s a little unsanitary?” 

He shrugged. “I mean. We use our hands to eat things. Skin doesn’t seem to bother you when you’re using it to pick up food.” 

I wasn’t sure what to say to that, so I said, “okay, good point!” and left. 

The skin was still on the counter. 

Was it bigger than when I first saw it? 

No. Not unless Barney had managed to sneak out and add to it during their discussion, and I’d had my eye on him the whole time. 

“It’s your mind playing tricks,” I said to myself, and got out a little handheld broom and dustpan. I love my handheld broom and dustpan. Big brooms are great for the floor, but when you’ve got something small that you need to deal with, the handheld broom and dustpan is the way to go. 

Mine is blue. 

The pyramid collapsed onto the dustpan when I moved it off the counter, and then I deposited it in the trash. I also swept the rest of the counter, clearing off several meal’s worth of grime. 

When I first moved in with Barney, I would bleach the counters after finding his little droppings. I still do, but it’s a different kind of cleaning now. It’s like painting a wall versus doing the dishes. You expect to paint a wall once every few years. The dishes have to get done all the time. 

I have to sweep up little pyramids of foot skin peelings all the time. 

My friends tell me I’m being judgmental. Am I overreacting? Barney does have a point, it’s just skin, and we all have skin. Some burn victims probably don’t have skin. 

I just don’t know what to do anymore. 

I came home from work to find yet another little pile waiting for me. In fact, it wasn’t just one pile. There was a whole trail of them (they were small) leading from the front door, one about every 8 feet, to the kitchen and then to Barney’s room. 

Ever seen a breadcrumb trail made of tiny skin pyramids?  I thought not. Live a little. 

I knocked on his door again. “Hey, Barney?” 

A minute later, he opened the door. A light brown bottle was in his hands. Some kind of honey scrub, most likely, maybe even mine. My honey scrub. 

 “Sorry, is that my scrub?” 

He looked at it in surprise. “This? Nah, man. I don’t think so. I keep it in here.” He gestured to the dusty room behind him. 

I shouldn’t have asked him. It was a stupid question. “Sorry for asking,” I said, and beat a hasty retreat back to the kitchen. “It’s cool!” he called after me, “We’re all dust in the end!” 

Barney unnerves me sometimes. 

Maybe I’m being too harsh. Yes, the guy shaves skin particles off his feet and makes little sculptures with them. I saw a skin rubber duck in the shower the other day. Nearly threw up. But that’s not all there is to him! I mean, we all have our vices. I, for instance, don’t like seeing skin rubber ducks when I’m trying to wash myself. It feels too intimate. 

But Barney is pretty understanding when I like to keep things clean. He even sorts out the silverware the way I like. We all have to make sacrifices for each other. 

I asked him, one day, why he does that. “Do what?” he said, the very picture of innocence. I almost believed him, except he was sculpting what looked like a playset out of skin. 

“Y’know,” I said. “The thing. Y’know. Shaving your feet. Peeling off the skin. Is it like a nervous tic? You just like the feeling? What’s up with it?” 

He chuckled. “Oh, that. Don’t worry about it.” 

“Well- no, I’m not worried, just-” 

“Sometimes we want to feel the world around us,” Barney said, looking straight at me, his newest sculpture abandoned for the moment. 

“Oh- oh,” I said. I didn’t expect him to respond, much less with any seriousness. “Like, you can feel better through your feet without all that skin?” 

Barney shook his head violently. “No, no, no, that’s not it.” Without warning, he suddenly reached into his shirt and pulled out a scroll. “Ancient scripts. From dust we came, to dust we shall return.” he shook open the scroll and a thick cloud of dust blew into the air. “We are one with the earth- our bodies are just creators of what we came from, constantly making more dust. It’s our destiny.” 

This was the most Barney had ever spoken, so I said, “Wow! That’s really cool! Is that a bible verse?” He fixed me with a stare like it was the first time he actually looked at me. “The Dust is older than your Scriptures.” 

I didn’t really sign up for that, so I said, “Good gracious! That’s pretty old!” 

Now, I know what you’re going to say. I would say it too, if I was as predictably cruel as the average person. It’s not my fault that I will occasionally say things like jeepers or golly gee or blimey or good gracious, it really isn’t. My excuse is that my grandparents still curse like the old people they are, and I revert to my roots when I’m a little nervous. 

Barney makes me a little nervous. So I didn’t ask him about it again. I think it was a good decision.

He made a Leaning Tower of Pisa the other day. Honestly, the sculptures are starting to grow on me. I still sweep up any pyramids I find, but he left the Leaning Tower on the kitchen table the other day and I haven’t moved it. I put up a little paper towel barrier. It was cool. 

Barney really annoyed me today. I went out to eat yesterday and didn’t eat everything, so I put my leftover indian in the fridge to save for later. He ate it! He didn’t even ask!! I’m very mad at him right now. I told him he needed to grow up and stop leaving his skin everywhere, because even if he didn’t see a difference between it and dust I sure did, and it was gross. I may have been too harsh. But if it gets the job done, who’s gonna criticize me? 

I feel bad, though. He isn’t a bad dude. 

“Hey, Barney?” I called, knocking on his door. “Hey man, I’m sorry about earlier. I didn’t mean to snap, that was unfair of me.” The door swung open. Barney stepped back. “It’s cool,” he said, shrugging his shoulders. He seemed entirely unbothered. “Come on in.” 

I didn’t really want to, but I did anyway. A peace offering, if you will.

The room was thick with dust, though there wasn’t that much clutter about the room. I could appreciate that. 

The scroll was open on his bed, and for a moment, the way it caught the sun made it look like it was glowing. Obviously, it wasn’t actually glowing.

“Here,” Barney said, pushing the dusty, yellowed scroll in front of me. “Read.” 

So I read. And then all I felt was dust. 

Dust coated every surface of my body. I couldn’t see it, I couldn’t feel it, but it was there. Maybe I was the dust. Maybe the dust was me. 

Was there anything under the surface? 

Did it matter if there was? 

“If the whole world is dust,” Barney said, giving me a knowing look. He held out a sandpaper brick. 

As if in a trance, I got to work churning dust into the sunbeams. 

I swept it all up, of course. My trusty blue handheld broom and dustpan is always by my side. The feeling was nice, and though at first I just felt sandy, now I feel fresher. Cleaner. I like feeling clean. 

Barney feels clean when he feels connected. I guess I get that. I’ve told him that I’m not going to continue shaving my calluses except maybe after I shower, so he can stop trying to get me to see his perspective. 

I didn’t have to clean up any skin pyramids today. You know, I really think we’ve found a balance. 

Barney is a pretty cool guy. I think I like him a lot. Sure, you have to get past the skin thing, but how bad is that, really? 

Not bad at all. Not bad at all. 

#my writing #writing #writers on tumblr #thanks to my sister who said write a story about a guy whose roomate won't stop peeling the skin off his feet #ur a real one #idk why but applying Normal Behavior to abnormal situations is just the funniest thing to me #this story is also known as Im trying to write stuff and by god was it easy and fun to write this

Slowly going insane over the fact that I most likely spend more time in the lab than in the field for my thesis.

#jojo rambles #uni life #jokes on me for thinking my vacation plans are just for fun but they are now a lifeline #cuz if I don't get to be outdoors soon for a longer period I will go crazy #but spending 7h a day looking at dead animals and 3h communting is just no fun #nothing like breaking open mussles or ripping of feet from polycheates #and on the weekend I don't have the energy to actually go outside a lot #not only do I need to touch grass...I need to be at the feet of the alps looking at the milky blue water of my favourite river with #not contact to anyone and just do what I want #any day I take off just means this misery goes on for longer #I didn't expect it to be that bad #the skin on my Fingertips is peeling off because of the rubber gloves I have go wear #the smell of the Formaldehyde also does not help #maybe better than ethanol but ey! the fun of working with a chemical that can cause cancer #at least I have watched like 20 episodes of critical role in one week thats helping

why DID he have socks on in the jacuzzi? does anyone know?

I HAVE NO IDEA LMAO

yh that's a top 10 questions science still doesn't have an answer to. What I can tell you however, is that in... 2015? I think? A sex tape was leaked. It's been scrubbed from the internet now, but apparently in that tape he was also just wearing socks. Which is weird. Maybe he is hiding hooves 👀 (although I have read that he apparently has Andy Warhol's crosses tattooed on one of his feet, which seems a bit hard to do with hooves)

#thank u for the ask! #i mean there could be many reasons for the socks tbh #he was high and thought it was funny #his feet were kinda gross that day #don't be mean with this info but i have a slight problem with peeling skin on one of my feet #so i too probably would've not shown my feet if i was faced with a jacuzzi #honestly i am disappointed that to my knowledge no interviewer has ever asked him about the socks in the jacuzzi #we need an answer lmao #lil wayne #tune time #marchibald's
