My Dr. told me not to wash my face (resurfaced area) for 7 days or until it is completely healed and just keep applying the ointment 4-5 times a day. I think he is wrong. Is it safe not to wash my face and keep applying the ointment for over 7 days? I got DioLite and CO2 fractional done on the same day 3 days ago.
I find some articles that it's best not to let scab to form. I tend to get scars if there're scabs formed though the scabs would fall off naturally which normally happen during shower time. Should I apply Vaseline straight after 3 days post CO2 laser? or the antibiotic cream? I am prescribed Mupicor Ointment with 2% Mupirocin. Should I cover the wound until it's completely healed? & if there's any scab formed, until the scab falls off? The CO2 laser is for flat nevus removal.
