Prep & post facial BCC removal

Samphire
Offline

Hello,

A very minor question. I am having a facial BCC removal under local anaesthetic soon & am wondering if in addition to the advice already rec'd (e.g. vaseline post removal) there is any further useful actions I can take either to prepare or afterwards to aid healing.

Thank you.

  • Hi there and thanks for the post

    I am sorry to hear about your upcoming bcc surgery on your face and hope this goes well.

    It seems Ed on CC has already given you some good suggestions in the days before and after your surgery that are worth taking note of.

    Skin care and protection in the sun is important as well as the use of vaseline to ensure the skin is in the best condition. Eating a balanced, healthy diet rich in fruit and vegetables and protein can all help with wound healing as well. Not smoking and minimising alcohol, also helpful.

    Best wishes
