How do I look after my wound?
It is important to keep your wound as dry as possible. Most patients are discharged home with a waterproof dressing, which can be left on for showering. During the first 24 hours, it is normal to have some minor bleeding. After being discharged home, there should be no discharge, redness or bleeding around the wound. If there is redness, discharge or a foul odour, please seek medical attention as soon as possible.
