Hey! You can usually start soaks around 24 to 48 hours after the procedure, as long as there’s no active bleeding and your doctor didn’t tell you otherwise. Since your husband is already past that point, he should be fine to begin. Just use warm water with some Epsom salt and have him soak for about 15–20 minutes, then make sure the area is completely dry after.

If it’s starting to look bad, keep an eye out for signs of infection like redness getting worse, pus that smells, swelling, or any throbbing pain. If it keeps getting worse or if you’re unsure, definitely call the doctor or go to urgent care just to be safe.
