Days 10-16 Post MOHS Surgery

The bruising is getting better every day. The scar is still pink and bumpy, but I'm hoping that improves as time goes by. The area above the incision is still numb, and I plan to talk to the doctor about that on my follow-up visit in 5 days.

Day 9

tpkelly
The incision has started to itch, which I take as a sign that it's healing. On day 8, I thought it was starting to look like parts of the incision were getting infected (red, puffy), so I put an antiseptic "liquid bandage" on it. After letting it dry, I covered it with petroleum jelly and a big bandage before going to bed. That was probably a bad idea. When I woke up the next morning, I thought it looked better, but then I had to peel the liquid bandage off of the incision, and THAT wasn't fun.
