Aftercare for biopsy ?
Posted , 5 users are following.
I had a biopsy 6 days ago to confirm LS. Two snips were done on the perideum (?). It looks terrible. My gyn told me to stop the ointments and the Clob for a week. It still hasn't healed and I haven't heard the results yet. Could you ladies share your experiences with the biopsies. Did you continue the Clob use and continue using ointments? How lond did it take for it to completely heal? She didn't use stitches so the area is still open.
Thank you.

I have been told i will have a biopsy on next visit in september if no improvement and am really worried about it because of my needle phobia. It sounds awful and i am really frightened. I hope you heal well and quickly x

My biopsy was done under general aneasthetic and gyn took 11 biopsy specimens, stretching from clitoris area right through to anus. All of the 11 had one or two sitches. I was told to stop the Clob for 6 weeks until all the wounds had healed and closed up. Gynae said that Clob should not be used on open wounds or torn skin. Supiroban Ointment (I think it is a form of Bactroban) was used on the wounds and I was told to sit in a coarse salt water bath three times per day. In my case the wounds had healed after six weeks and I could then start the Dermovate. Hang in there with the clob until she gives you the go-ahead or phone to ask what you should do in the interim. Take care and all the best.

Did you request the general aneasthetic or did the gyn offer it and if she did why did she offer it. Was it because they wanted to take so much tissue.

No..I did not request it. Gynae just advised that he was doing it in hospital based on the fact that he wanted to take a fair amount of tissue from the different spots and stitch them up again. He felt that he was better equipped to do it in hospital.

It was definitely not the "best period of my life" and very painful to walk, sit or lie down. One good thing though, the itch was gone! But then, when the wounds had healed.....back came the lesions (bringing all their brothers, sisters, cousins, distant cousins etc.etc along with them!!) Luckily I could then start with Dermovate and send them back where they came from!!! Ha..ha
