Hi, I Had My Big Toe Biopsy For Cancer About
Question: Hi, I had my big toe biopsy for cancer about 3 weeks ago. It was negative. I have a bandage on the toe while it is healing.
The area between the toe has started to peel for a few days. The peeling is moving towards the biopsy area. How do I stop the peeling from reaching the biopsy site? I think this may cause a problems.

Hi, thanks for your message. I do not have diabetes.
I was able to see my family doctor yesterday. My Doctor states that the toe is healing okay. He stated that I can remove the bandage. Thanks
