How soon can I do these things after Mohs on nose?

Question

How long do you keep bandage on after stitches are out? How soon can you wear makeup? How soon can you use sun screen?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

I suggest speaking to your surgeon as each physician has their own requests for patients.  It also depends on what was done for your surgical closure.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Josef Hadeed, MD, FACS · Answer

Thank you for your questions.  Every surgeon varies according to their particular preferences for postoperative care following surgery.  In my practice, I generally tell patients to keep their bandages off after the sutures are removed.  I do not allow makeup or sunscreen until I am sure that the wounds have healed.  Please contact your physician's office for their specific instructions.  Best wishes.

Your surgeon should give you specifics on band-aids, make-up, and sunscreen after surgery. Follow-up directly with him/her if you have questions. "This answer has been solicited without seeing this patient and
cannot be held as true medical advice, but only opinion. Seek in-person
treatment with a trained medical professional for appropriate care."
