Sealing the Deal: Embracing Hydrocolloid Dressings for Post Procedure Dermatologic Care

Abstract

Hydrocolloid dressings provide a maintenance-free method of post-procedural wound care. Commercially available hydrocolloid dressing, however, may not be accessible or affordable for all procedural patients. Here we report a case of a patient with a fibroepithelioma of pinkus treated with electrodessication and curettage with post-procedural wound care managed with an over-the-counter hydrocolloid “pimple” patch.
