Asked By:LorenThorn

Three days ago I had a mole shaved off. This is within the pubic region and as such surrounded by hair. The wound is about 1cm square. I have been cleaning it once a day with diluted detol with water. Then applying liquid Betadine and covering with a bandaid. Should I be using Betadine?
