Healthy Living Recommendations:
-
Keep the treated area dry and clean to minimize the risk of infection.
-
Protect the area from sunlight at all times, and use a high-SPF sunscreen until the area is fully healed.
-
Do not scratch or peel any scabs or raised skin, even if there is crusting or swelling.
-
Regularly apply antibiotic creams or lotions as recommended by your doctor.
-
Avoid swimming in pools or the sea until healing is complete.
-
Use moisturizers suitable for your skin type to prevent the wound from drying out and to reduce the risk of scarring.
Lipomas and cysts are usually harmless, but surgical intervention may be necessary if they cause aesthetic or physical discomfort. Proper care after surgery promotes faster healing and reduces the risk of recurrence.
Healthy Living Recommendations:
-
Change dressings after surgery as often as your doctor recommends, following hygiene rules carefully.
-
Protect the area from impacts and avoid tight clothing.
-
Be alert for signs of infection (if redness, pain, or discharge occur, contact your doctor immediately).

Use light, non-comedogenic products to keep the skin free from excess oil and clogged pores.
-
Consume foods rich in vitamin C to strengthen your immune system.
-
For recurring cysts, seek specialist advice for hormonal or metabolic evaluation.

Stay away from factors that suppress the immune system, such as smoking, stress, and lack of sleep.

For recurrent warts, the HPV type should be determined and a dermatological follow-up plan established.
