- If you are pregnant or think you might be, tell your healthcare provider so a treatment can be chosen that won’t hurt you or the baby.
- Ask your healthcare provider to tell you about the treatment, including how much it costs and the good things about it.
- Be sure you know what to do after you have the treatment done, like what to do about any itching, burning or pain, and when to come back to the office or clinic.
- Be patient, most people have to be treated more than once, or your healthcare provider may have to try more than one treatment.
- Some healthcare providers may tell you not to have sex while having treatment. This is to protect the treated areas of skin and help it heal.
- It’s OK to ask the healthcare provider questions. They are there to help you and explain what is happening if you have any questions.
