Instructions following wart removal
- 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.
- 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.
- If you have discomfort, take Tylenol and stay off the foot.
Call us if pain is significant. This is uncommon.
- 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.
