Instructions for Cauterized Areas
These areas will form a scab.
Apply alcohol 3 times daily, avoiding the eyes, until scab falls off.
Keep areas uncovered as much as possible. Cover only if clothing irritates the area(s).
DO NOT cover area(s) with make-up until the scab falls off.
The scab will typically fall off in 7-14 days. For the best results, DO NOT PICK THE SCAB OFF!
Use only NON-ASPIRIN pain relievers, such as Tylenol. (Please refer to blood thinning medication list)
If bleeding occurs, apply firm, constant pressure with a gauze pad for 30 CONTINUOUS minutes. DO NOT lift gauze to check before 30 minutes elapses. It should stop.
If pain or bleeding persists or if you have any questions, please call the office at 301-791-1800.
