I am scheduled to get my mic-key button removed tomorrow. Has anyone been through this process before? What was the healing process like? Any tips? Thanks!

Hi @landy58 and welcome. Best you get to a doctor, likely immediate care or similar and ask what is going on. Also notify your doctor online if possible. We are not doctors nor can we give medical advice. It is best you get someone to look at what is going on soonest.
