Bathing with stitches

[itsanewday23]

Can I bathe after having mole biopsies?

I had two moles removed (back and stomach) on Sunday lunch time. 6 stitches in total, bandages came off yesterday as directed.

I'm also having horrible period pains and want a bath, would this damage the healing process?

It's not mentioned in the after care leaflet and no one said no to, I don't think

I had a mole removed a few weeks ago. I was told no bathing until the stitches have dissolved, about 2-3 weeks due to infection risk. Showers only.

Ah, I don't have dissolvable stitches but they're supposed to be removed in 9 days

I'll stick to showers

Sorry OP, but yes until the stitches are out you need to shower only.

then check with the nurse x
