What's the Best Treatment to Minimize Scarring After Getting Mole Removed with Stiches?
Hello! Im thinking on getting my mole removed and it's about 1 cm in diameter. I already went to see a dermetologist but he only resurfaced it last year because it was bumpy. Couple month ago I noticed it was becoming bumpy.I just want to remove it and I don't mind a scar but I really want to know a best treatment to minimize the scar and the best product that really works. I heard silicone gel and melerma works but somehow still unsure. Please I would like to know what other doctors recommend.

How to Minimize Scarring Following Mole Removal on Face
I think the best way to minimize scarring following surgery to remove a mole is to choose a physician that performs a great deal of surgeries on the face. This could be a dermatologist who has completed a fellowship in Mohs micrographic surgery and whose practice consists primarily of skin cancer surgery and reconstruction. It could also be a plastic surgeon or facial plastic surgeon so long as their practice includes a great deal of facial skin surgery and repair.
