Is it good to keep vaseline on a scar where stitches from mohs surgery were removed one week ago and if so for how long. Should I use some type of scar ointment.If so when would I start and what would you recommend.

Answer: Vasoline on a scar post mohs We customarily advised a two week course of an ointment based topical agent after a surgical procedure. Typically we will advise bacitracin or aquafor, but vasoline is acceptable as well. The advantage of using such an agent is to protect the wound from external allergens as well as keeping the incision site moisturized.

Answer: Scar Moisturizing the incision site after the sutures are removed will help with scar. I would use a scar ointment as opposed to Vaseline at this time. There area various OTC options as well as prescription silicone gels and sheets that would work better. I would talk with your dermatologist and see what they may have available at their office.
