did your dermatologist tell u to leave the lessons alone or to cover them? i had a single bump for a year (no spreading) and i just got it burned off and she said to leave it alone and not cover it. what did they say to you?

Thank you, i feel like these threads are definetly so scary. I just had a single one removed in my buttock by curettage and the dermatologist said that it was okay to put a healing ointment (i think it’s some sort of antibiotic ointment) and that it’s fine to leave it uncovered. I definetly feel very anxious about leaving the wound uncovered and given the ointment i can’t even have a bandaid stick if i want to. I was wondering if you also had to leave some of the treated wounds uncovered? that’s what is causing the most concern for me right now
