My doctor has frozen a wart on my hand and put a band-aid on it.
Is that okay to put the band-aid on it?

It has been two days now, so how long will it take for the wart to fall off?
Will the band-aid affect it at all?

    The best answer would be to call your doc and find out his or her preferences. It should be fine to cover the area, and this is often requires, because the area may have a little drainage. Clean the area according to the instructions your doc gave you, and you should be fine

    You should be fine, just change your band-aid once or twice daily.

    There is no need for band-aid. You can wash your hand as usually. It take about 2-3 weeks for the wart to fall off. Good luck!
