Wound Care After Mohs Surgery Repair?

I have read pros and cons regarding the proper care for a granulating wound on the upper forehead. A forehead flap procedure covered the large defect resulting from removal of a melanoma from the right side of my nose, 4 weeks ago. The surgeon left a circular wound at the top of the flap that is to granulate in. He told me that I could use a Tefla pad to cover the wound. How many hours covered? How many hours uncovered? How many days/weeks? Using what to clean wound? Topical on wound?
