Instructions following wart removal

  1. The bandage that was put on your wart excision site is bulky to protect it and is secured with a special wrap. If you find that this bandage feels too tight and you are experiencing discomfort. You may remove the bandage and apply Neosporin OINTMENT and a Band Aid. If the bandage is sticking to your wart excision site, please use peroxide to loosen the bandage.
  2. Bleeding is normal. If the bleeding does not stop, apply ice and elevate the foot. If it continues, please call our office. This is uncommon.
  3. If you have discomfort, take Tylenol and stay off the foot. Call us if pain is significant. This is uncommon.
  4. You may bathe normally. Apply Neosporin OINTMENT and a Band Aid twice a day. This will be required for 2-4 weeks and will enhance the healing process.
