Hi girls,
So I had this skin tag removed at my Dr's yesterday as it had changed over the last 2 weeks and was right on my bra strap so not in the best place.
She used nitrogen to freeze the area then shaved it off (sorry if TMI).... I kept a plaster on it yesterday and took a shower to clean it this morning.
The question is, whats the best way to care for it now, as its an open wound?
I have a plaster on it again just now as Im sure my clothes will stick to it.
I'm not sure about putting anything on it, as I think letting it heal naturally is probably best for me and baby (rather than putting some cream on it that Im not sure if it will affect the baby).
Anyone else been through this, or have any good tips of how best to treat an open wound when pregnant (to minimise infection)?
Thanks!!!
