Biopsy

I had the holepunch biopsy last Thursday on the NHS in England. The Dr couldn't get the first biopsy out of the site and so had to take another one, totalling in four stitches.

I had been on clob for one month before this, and using an emollient. The Dr said not to use either until the sites heal but dear god, it is starting to get so itchy. The itch could be the healing, the possible LS or both.

I appreciate everyone's needs will be different etc but has anyone's sites healed well using an emollient?

NHS dr's are famously not super available for questions like this so would really appreciate anyone's personal experiences (the good, the bad and the neutral)

Edit: I've been emboldened to use the emollient and it's made a world of a difference to my comfort so thank you to everyone who shared their experiences
