Hi Doctor, I just had electocautery done to my face to remove age warts and pigmentation. on However, I was told not to wet my face for five days and put nothing on my face. I am a bit worried that it might leave a scar . I read that it is good to put vasaline on the wounds to make it heal faster, is that correct? Flo

hi whenever any facial warts are removed ,pigmentation definetely occurs.we advice to apply fusibet ointment over the cauterised areas for 5 days to reduce infection and protect from infection.yes vaseline like elovera and evion can decrease pigmentation to some extent.after one month if still pigmentation is there use momate ointment in the morning and tacroz ointment cures the pigmentation
