Mohs Surgery + Dissolve Q&A

I just had Mohs Surgery 2 days ago. Later today, Ill be removing the bandage that was put on my cheek after the wound closure. I was told to wash the area with soap and water and then put some Vaseline on the stitches. Also, I was told that the stitches are going to devolve themselves. I was wondering if I have to cover the wound again after cleaning it up and putting Vaseline on? Also why the surgeon used stitches that dissolve themselves instead of regular ones?

My MOHS procedure on tip of my nose ,took 3 times to get clear margins as it was deep and long ...biopsy after showed Nodule and Infilterative Basal. My surgeon closed with a PENG closure on the same day using dissolvable stitches .9 weeks later healng well to look at ,surface stitches gone to naked eye .Concern is the constant soreness , slight tightness ,sharp and tingling pain underneath , from the tip to bridge of nose . also itching

Hi my dad had mohs surgery done (vertex incision) 2 months ago. Large area on scalp 2nd course of antibiotics still oozing. He has to go for radiotherapy and we just don't know how to get it to heal. I have used salt and water. ..dressings have been aqua flex silver alternating with manuka honey antibacterial dressings. Doc has now prescribed steroid cream. Any advice please

I had dissolving stitches put in which dissolved. The hole looks very raw. Something seems off about this?

The outer stitches opened after Moh's, and I have an opening on my forehead (approx. 1/2 inch). The wound is open and red, but it isn't bleeding much and doesn't feel inflamed. I've been using Vaseline and a bandage to cover for 3 weeks. I want to know the best method for healing this wound from now on. Should I stay on this aftercare routine, or leave the wound open as is? Thank you.

I had Mohs surgery on my face just left of my nose 3 weeks ago. I had subcutaneous dissolving stitches as well as stitches to close the wound. The outer stitches were removed 2 weeks ago and I am now feeling a twitching or a wiggling movement under my scar. It almost feels like something crawling under my skin. Could I possibly be feeling the subcutaneous stitches dissolving?
