So I just had my facial moles removed via laser. And I was wondering if I'm suppose to keep it moist or dry. If moist, what type of thing could I put on there ex. Tee tree oil, emu oil, aloe vera. Oh, and the wounds are already developing a scab..

A biopsy will only partially remove a lesion. There is a chance that the mole can recur. If the mole returns and over time becomes suspicious, it would be advised to have the mole biopsied again or completely surgically excised.
As long as your child is okay with it and you consent to the procedure this can be removed. If it is not suspicious, some feel that it is better for the child to wait until they are 18 to make their own decision. But the removal of it should not affect growth in anyway, but this also depends on...
One week ago would be difficult. The inflammatory reaction could confuse pathologists and this could affect the diagnosis. I would wait until all of the healing is done and see if there is any part of the mole left. Otherewise I would watch the area on a regular basis and get check ups.
