While most lumps removal procedures are straightforward and low-risk, it’s important to discuss these possibilities with your healthcare provider beforehand.
Discharge: After your lump removal, you’ll go home on the same day. It’s helpful to have someone with you, especially if you’ve had local anaesthetic, as you might feel briefly groggy.
Wound Care: Keep the area clean and dry, avoid soaking it, and follow all instructions for dressings, ointments, and any prescribed medications.
Nutrition and Rest: Eat a diet rich in vitamins A, C, E, zinc, and protein to support healing, and get plenty of rest to aid recovery.
Activity and Sun Exposure: Avoid stretching the area or intense activity, protect the site from sun exposure to prevent darkened scars, and focus on stress-reducing routines for overall wellness.
Common Symptoms: Mild swelling, bruising, or pain is normal for a few days. Over-the-counter pain relief is usually effective, and rest is advised for the first 24–48 hours.
Physical Activity: Light activity can resume within a few days, but avoid strenuous movement until the area heals—typically within 1 to 2 weeks, depending on the lump’s size and location.
When to Seek Help: Watch for signs like increased redness, swelling, warmth, pus, fever, or fatigue, and contact your doctor if they occur.
Follow-up: Sutures are usually removed after 7–10 days. Attend follow-up appointments to ensure proper healing and avoid complications.
