Foot Lesion Removal: Procedure, Recovery, and Care
The procedure involves the removal of a foot lesion. The patient is first given local anesthesia to numb the area around the lesion. The surgeon then makes an incision around the lesion and carefully removes it. If necessary, the surgeon may also remove some surrounding tissue to ensure that all of the affected area has been removed. Once the lesion has been removed, the surgeon will clean the area and may apply a dressing or bandage. The patient may be given pain medication and instructions on how to care for the wound at home. It is important for the patient to keep the area clean and dry to prevent infection. The patient may also need to avoid certain activities or wear special shoes until the wound has fully healed. Follow-up appointments with the surgeon may be necessary to ensure proper healing.
