How to care for my skin after biopsy sample taken Dr didn't give any instructions?
I've had a bump on my leg for like a year. Went to dermatologist just now and they took a sample for biopsy. They didn't give me any post biopsy instructions. So I figured I'm fine. I read on a dermatologist website that I can't take baths for 2 days following. My Dr did tell me to keep the bandage on till tomorrow. Thats it. I had to ask the tech if I need to avoid sunlight. She says no. But that Drs office website I read, different from the one I went to, says no direct sunlight and I work with dogs in the sun this afternoon so I'm like what the heck. As long as my bandage is on and I stay in the shade am I good? Furthermore that site says when I remove the bandage clean it with mild soap. That's obvious, but also put petroleum jelly on the site. So now I'm confused. I feel fine from the biopsy.
