Hi! My donor area is itching a lot at night and I scratched a few grafts off accidentally. Should I take more antibiotics? I have some leftover from last year's sinus infection (amoxicillin 500mg). Can I take 2 of those?

Hassan, that's a clinical question I shouldn't answer myself, but I want to make sure you get a real answer fast. Two things at once:
(1) Please don't take leftover antibiotics — even from a previous prescription, that decision needs to come from Dr. Yılmaz with your current case in front of him.
(2) I just paged the on-call nurse and Dr. Yılmaz with a summary of your message and your last wound photo. Someone will be back to you within 30 minutes. If the area becomes painful, very red, or you spike a fever, please go to the nearest ER while waiting.
Want me to send you a pre-typed message you can hand to the ER triage nurse if you go in?
