How do I care for my wound after curettage?
The wound will feel tender when the local anaesthetic wears off. Leave the dressing you’ve been given in place, and avoid any strenuous exercise for 24 hours. Keep the wound dry for 48 hours, and then gently wash and dry it as normal. If there’s any bleeding, apply pressure firmly with a folded towel for 20 minutes. If it’s still bleeding, contact your consultant.
