Incision question

Hello all - 

I had a pacemaker procedure about 20 days ago.  My question is about my incision. First of all it’s not swollen, red, tender, or oozing. I do not have a fever and I do not feel icky. However, I noticed today that my skin is starting to peel around the incision area.  Almost like a sunburn peel.  The incision area was pretty taped up before I went home.  I was told not to put any cream on the incision for 6 weeks.  Should I be concerned?

Skin peel

I'm seeing something similar after a month. I think it is part residual superglue that they now use to seal incisions and part skin reaction to the glue.

So, my advice is to go about your daily routine and forget that you have a pacemaker implanted in your body.
