I have been applying the ointment to the donor area now for 7 days. Should I be good to let the donor area heal by itself now without anything or do I still need to apply the ointment for a longer period of time? If so, how long?

Answer: Bacitracin / ointment in donor area You can keep applying Bacitracin or similar ointments for another 5 - 7 days if needed. Your donor area looks like it is healing really well. Also, you will know / notice when you are healed in the donor area. Consult your surgeon whenever you are in doubt. Have a great day!

Answer: Post-Op Care Follow all post-op instructions that you were given. After 7 days you would typically not need to continue using ointment. But every doctor has a different way of doing things and it is best to follow your doctors advice.
