Geez, a lot of maintenance for wound care. [View all]

Got a "severely abnormal" mole and borders removed surgically yesterday. About eight stitches.

Here's my new regimen for the next 10 days:
Change the bandage twice a day.
Cleanse with hydrogen peroxide.
Apply antibiotic cream to wound.
Re-apply gauze and paper tape.
Wind with ACE bandage.
Take antibiotic pill.

So far, so good.
