Hello there,
Please clean the entire yellow layer and keep the area dry or apply topical medication (powder or ointment) prescribed by your doctor to help with the healing process.
Please follow your doctor's instructions, and you should be fine.
Healing usually takes 14 days and please follow-up with your doctor as advised in the discharge summary.
Do not worry about bleeding since it is also a part of the healing process. You will also not bleed as much but if you think it is concerning please let your doctor know.
I hope this helped relieve your anxiety. Take care and have a lovely day !
