Had laser mole removal and pressure hasn't stopped the bleeding. what to do? as post op says wipe clean and apply vaseline
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pressure.: Pressure always stops bleeding. Apply firm and steady pressure precisely to the area and DO NOT remove the pressure to peek at it. An undisturbed lump of gauze under a mildly constrictive bandage is all that is necessary.
