How do I prevent acne formation around the injury area after open-heart surgery?

Doctor's Answer

Hi,

In general, acne does not usually form around any injured area. Thus this will require no special precautions. Just follow your operating doctor’s instructions about post-operative wound care.

It is critical that you do not compromise wound healing by self-medication or treatment.

Should acne really occur, then you can consider active treatment. See the Acne section for details of the various effective acne treatments available.

Hope this helps!
