How Can A Surgical Wound Be Treated?
I recently had stent surgery and the elastic bandage that was put on the day of the surgery, when removed, pulled a little of my skin off on the thigh area. I have some halobetasol proprionate ointment...Can I put a little of this on that area, until it is well?

Hi,
As the wound is clean, nothing much to worry.
You can clean the wound with soap and water.
No need to apply any ointment.
