I went to a derm and he remove my mole but ended up with a huge scar that looks like a crater and made me very disappointed by the outcome. Is it possible to at least reduce the shadowing of the scar? or am i just screwed and need extensive therapy lol.
A few months ago I got two moles from my face removed. Both are coming back, but the scar on my nose left a crater, a sort of indentation and Im hoping theres a corrective measure for it? Its more prominent than the mole was and Im honestly regretting the surgery.
I got a scar from removing a mole using Apple Cider Vinegar. It resulted in creating a crater. A scab formed which eventually came off resulting in a pink scar. Before, the scar was concave and pink. Now it has darkened over two weeks the edges are even darker (purple color) creating a dark ring. Why are the edges so dark? Is it hyperpigmentation or melanin? Please advise if this is part of the normal healing process and if you have any recommendations at this early stage of scarring.
Half of the mole fell of and left a crater but half of it is till on my skin right beside the crater. Should I continue to get rid of the rest of the mole or just leave it and put aquaphor and scar preventing gel on it? I don't want to damage the wound anymore, but I would also like to get rid of the other half of the mole, as I feel this wound will heal very awkwardly and weirdly the way it looks right now.
I have had this mole on my nose for most my life, but it was not present in my youth. It has gotten slightly bigger & slightly raised, but minimal changes still. I want to have it removed, but I do not want a crater from a scar or at least not a noticeable scar in its place. Is this possible? Who would perform this best; dermatologist or a plastic surgeon? Also is there a best way to remove to avoid scarring, if at all possible? Thank you.
I wanted this mole shaved to the surface of my skin on the inside of the bridge of my nose. Instead, the PA removed a lot of it and now there is a large, odd shaped crater. I'm concerned my glasses will rub that area where the depression is. Can I have it revised or filled in? She didn't do what I requested.
I removed two really small moles on my chin (around 2mm in diameter at most) using castor oil and baking soda. Within the first week, scabs formed and by the next week they had fallen off and were very red and dry. Now a month later, they are pink with no scabs and I've been applying Nivea creme to them every night. One has a small crater, and the other is still very slightly raised. How much longer until they heal up completely? Will they ever look normal again?
I have a small, pin-had sized sabaceous hyperplasia on the tip of my nose. I have been advised that a shave biopsy can be performed to remove the lump followed by cauterizing the wound to stop bleeding. Presumably, after the procedure, there will be a crater wound and I'm concerned that cauterizing will leave a blood clot and encourage an indented scar - is this likely? And, how long will the crater from the excision generally take to "fill in"?
Mole that has split skin now have hole or crater, never did anything, must of split during sleep. It scabs up with dried blood and doesn't seem to be getting better. Never was like this before. Small mole on side of nose, now I have hole.Could I have this stitched up. What should I do?
Okay Docs, I really need your help. I got two moles removed, from my face. 1 on my jawline, and one on my cheek. One the size of a pea. and one just a little bit smaller then a penny, but flat. on my cheek. One i'm most concerned about. but another one could use some help too. The one on my cheek that I got removed Left a visible crater. Picture shown, but not visible as face to face. Any lasers? scar removal, anything. I want it to be level with the rest of my skin. pigmented is fine. but leveled
