Customer Review: Great Results/ Adheres Well/ Requires Less Care
Summary: 5 Stars
In September of 2007 I was diagnosed with a squamous cell carcinoma. These carcinomas are one of the non-metastatic skin cancers.
My carcinoma was removed in my dermatologist's office. Prior to the removal I had showered and scrubbed the area where the cancer was located. The woman who removed the cancer also scrubbed the site. I planned to use this particular bandage and I believed it was important that it only be used over a wound that was recent and very clean.
The cancer was excised and I had 5 stitches to close the removal area.
At the time of the excision I was told that I should remove my bandage, apply an antibiotic ointment and re-bandage the wound two times a day.
I was not given a prescription for oral antibiotics.
Prior to the excision I had researched this type of bandage. They are a type of bandage called a "HYDROCOLLOID". They have been used after surgeries for about twenty years. Their successful use over stitches (also called, "sutures") is well researched and documented.
The product information on these bandages says not to use them over stitches, however, because I knew that extensive research showed them to be fine for use over stitches, I decided to use them anyway.
I also knew from my research prior to the excision, that it was considered desirable to leave this dressing/bandage on for at least 5 days before changing. Therefore, I ignored the recommendation made at the doctor's office and left the bandage on for 5 days before each change. I did not use any topical antibiotics.
After two weeks I went back to the doctor's office to get my stitches removed. I told them that I had used this hydrocolloid bandage and that I had only changed the bandage twice since the surgery. When they removed the bandage and stitches they remarked that the wound looked remarkably well-healed and that scarring seemed unusually light.
I would suggest looking up HYDROCOLLOID bandages on the Internet to get more information on them. Also, I WOULD ONLY USE THESE BANDAGES ON A WOUND THAT IS VERY CLEAN, UNINFECTED AND LESS THAN A FEW HOURS OLD.
I like this bandage because it stayed on very well, limited the amount of cleaning, medication and re-bandaging I needed to do and I had very little scarring.
