I had a full thickness forehead skin graft ten days ago with Mohs surgery for basal cell carcinoma. It's about the size of a half-dollar, skin came from the lower side of my neck. A nurse removed the bandage on day 7, and said the would dressing is dark red, but now on day 10 and still dark. How often does a graft look like this at ten days?
I had Mohs Surgery 2 days ago on my upper lip area. I received stitches & I was told to keep the area moist with Vaseline & covered to prevent scarring & help the healing process. The problem is that I can't get traditional bandages or gauze to stick. Can I use liquid bandage over the stitches & Vaseline? I would really appreciate the advice. Thank you so much!
Should I still be wearing a bandage? Please post photos or reference. Moh's surgery middle of forehead, at hairline. Dime to nickel size. Linear closure I think. Both stitches and staples, removed in 10 days. Doctor's opinion then - healing properly. Keeping the wound moist with Aquaphor and bandaged. Now 6 weeks after surgery. Open hole is not getting smaller. Not hot, red, or painful. Yellow, sticky pus like material fills the hole. No smell or ooze. Without removal of material, I wash the wound, apply Aquaphor and bandage. No photos or references online.
What are the best products to use to place a covering/bandage over the lower lip that won't stick to the wound but will stay in place? We did not receive any advice for post of care regarding re-bandaging.. will be needing to go back to work and want to cover it up
I had mohs surgery, doctor stitched up the wound , then came back in 5 days , they removed the stitches. They told me to take off the band aid the next day and then told me for one week to cover the scar with vaseline but I did not need a band aid to cover the scar. My question is should I still keep putting vaseline on the scar, after the week is over? I don't mind doing it, it minimizes the scar a little bit, or should I stop putting vaseline on it?
I recently had MOHs surgery on my nose that was closed with a skin graft. After a week the bandage was removed along with the stitches from the donor cite. I was given an appointment date in three months. What is going to happen to the stitches in the graft? Should I have been given an appointment to have them removed?
