Minor Surgery Aftercare

Thank you for choosing our clinic for your Dermatology. To ensure a smooth recovery, please follow these aftercare instructions:

1. Wound Care:

• Keep the surgical site clean and dry. Change dressings as instructed by your provider.
• Avoid touching or scratching the area to prevent infection.

2. Activity:

• Limit physical activities that may strain the surgical site for at least 48 hours.
• Gradually resume normal activities as you feel comfortable.
  

3. Pain Management:

• You may experience some discomfort. Over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen or ibuprofen can help.
• Avoid aspirin as it can increase bleeding.
  

4. Signs of Infection:

• Watch for signs of infection such as increased redness, swelling, pain, or discharge.
• Contact our clinic immediately if you notice any of these symptoms.

5. Follow-Up:

• Schedule a follow-up appointment as advised to ensure proper healing.
