After 48 hours clean the wound daily until healed or sutures are removed. Follow the steps below to clean and care for the wound. 1. Wash your hands. 2. Carefully wash the area with a gentle, unscented soap. Rinse well. Let area air dry or gently pat dry. The crust, if there is any, will slowly come off as you clean daily; do not force crust off. 3. Apply Vaseline to the wound after cleaning. 4. Cover with band-aid or other dressing. If the band-aid is irritating your skin, try putting the band-aid in different directions. You could also make a dressing with a small, nonstick pad held in place by paper tape. You may apply over-thecounter hydrocortisone cream to irritated skin; do not put on biopsy or surgical site.","PeriodicalId":77879,"journal":{"name":"Nursing standard : official newspaper of the Royal College of Nursing","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75593443","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
