Management of Sutures in Post Mohs Surgery

After Mohs surgery, which is a procedure to remove skin cancer, sutures are used to close the incision. Managing these sutures involves keeping the area clean and dry to prevent infection. Patients should follow the doctor’s instructions regarding when to change bandages and when to return for suture removal. It’s important to watch for signs of infection, such as increased redness or swelling. Regular follow-ups with the healthcare provider ensure that healing is on track and any concerns can be addressed promptly. Proper suture care helps promote optimal healing and reduces the risk of scarring.
