Wow, that does look bad. I am glad it doesn't feel that bad (I have had horrible after surgery bruising but it never really hurt that bad--glad you got the same thing!)
Hope you get back to normal and heal with out a scar!!!!!! Hey, I can hope for you, they said I would have three red scars about half an inch from my knee surgery and you can only see one easily!!!!! And I know how itchy those strips can get!!! Frustrating!
Good Luck!!!!!!!
