Some people have an abnormal response to skin healing and these people may get larger scars than usual (keloids and hypertrophic scarring). How do I look after the wound following skin curettage? Your wound may be tender 1-2 hours after the curettage when the local anaesthetic wears off. Leave the dressing in place for 24 hours or as advised by your dermatologist. If there is any bleeding, press on the wound firmly with a folded towel without looking at it for 20 minutes. If it is still bleeding after this time, seek medical attention. Keep the wound dry for 48 hours. You can then gently wash and dry the wound. If the wound becomes red or very painful, consult your doctor. There are no stitches to remove after curettage. The wound from curettage will take approximately 2-3 weeks to heal over. The scar will initially be red and raised but usually reduces in colour and size over several months. Related Information
