A member asked:
I received 1 stitch after a mole removal.my dr wasn't clear on aftercare.should i use neosporin and bandage the wound along w/ cleaning w/ soap & h2o?

Simple is best.: Just a band aid with a spot of neosporin should be fine. No cleaning necessary. Keep clean and dry until suture removal in about 7 days - or sooner if this is on your face.
