Wounds and Epsom salt
 

Off topic here...

I had my skin biopsy a few days ago. My biopsy wound is still a bright red circle, can I take an Epsom salt bath?

I would not....it will sting. And might set off other pain receptors.

If you have a waterproof bandage, you could cover it while dry and not remove it until the skin dries after the bath.

You indicated a singular wound/site. Please tell me there is more then one site. Where did they take the sample(s) from?

Sorry for the confusion. I should have been more clear. They did two punches. I asked for three because I've read that what must of you have had, but they only do two as that is what comes with the kit that theraparh sends. One was a few inches above my ankle ( outside ankle). The other was my outer thigh, in line with my pubic bone.

Those biopsy sites need to stay dry for them to heal properly. I had to wrap cling wrap and put garbage bags around mine while in the shower until the scabs fell off.

There are many waterproof bandaids now on the market.

Just ask your pharmacist.

I can say the Nexcare are really good and they do stay dry underneath...I haven't tried any other brand...
