Hello! Five Days Ago I Visited My Dermatologist And I

Posted on Sat, 5 Sep 2020

Question: Hello! Five days ago I visited my dermatologist and I had some sebaceous hyperplasia on my face treated with electrodessication. She also treated two sebborheic keratoses on my arm with cryotherapy. The following day, the areas treated formed blisters which popped on their own two days later. I’m attaching pictures of the two areas on my arm. After the blisters popped, the thin skin on the larger treated area sloughed off on its own. I’ve been applying Vaseline daily. Do the two areas look like they are healing properly? Thank you so much for your time!

Brief Answer:
Looks slightly inflamed, apply topical antibiotic

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to ask a doctor service
I have gone through your query and reviewed the attached photographs.
The areas treated are looking slightly inflamed.
I would recommend you to apply topical antibiotic like fusidic acid cream or neosporin ointment on these areas twice daily for 7-10 days.
This will bring down the inflammation and areas will heal faster.
Regards
Dr Asmeet
