First time posting here. I am at home recovering from wide local excision of acral lentiginus melanoma from sole of left foot and split skin graft performed two days ago. I am awaiting the results of SLNB. Does anyone have experience and tips for dealing with the foot as it heals? I am trying to keep my foot elevated.
