I got 4 moles on my face shaved off yesterday. My doctor told me to let it scab and dont pick at it so it will heal in a week. But I was reading peoples advice on aftercare and I heard that letting it scab will make the scar worse. Im just confused now, should I let it scab or not? Ive been cleaning my face gently with a dove beauty bar and warm water and then diluting hydrogen peroxide and cleaning off the cuts and then adding aquaphor with a bandaid on top. Am I doing this correctly? Thanks
I had 3 moles removed yesterday by a nurse practitioner(1on my chest, 1on my arm and 1underneath my arm/on my side. She gave me a shot in each mole, and then cut them off. She said that I should NOT be feeling pain after the procedure or the next day. Also, she told me that I could shower the same day OF the procedure, and so I did and took off the bandages and cleaned my wounds with antibacterial soap, and rebandaged them. I have been feeling pain since after the procedure. Is this okay/normal?
I got a mole on my stomach removed about 6 days ago and I wasn't really given any aftercare directions so I've just been cleaning it 2 times a day with soap and water and then putting polysporin on and covering it with a bandaid. As I was cleaning it today though a red dot appeared and now it looks even worse. Is something wrong with it or is it healing correctly? Also how long will it take for it to look somewhat normal/heal?
