I got 4 moles removed via electrocautery 3.5 months ago. one healed perfectly and the last three on my chest did not heal as fast. What is the next step to the healing process? She did the procedure, drained the blood, injected kenalog, and laser scar treatment.. What can I do to get rid of this as soon as possible!? Can I get rid of it within the next few weeks?if so how? It's embarrassing and I have not taken my shirt off in 3.5 months and it's miserable having this. Thanks
I had a mole removed by shave biopsy on the side of my breast 12 days ago and it doesn't appear to have healed at all yet. I dont see anany signs of new skin and it still appears open. The wound bed is moist, but the drainage doesn't seem purulent. Why might it not be healing/ what can I do to improve healing? (The redness that's away from the site is irritation from the band aid)
I had a mole excised from the side of my calf and they used dissolving stitches. The stitches dropped out after a week, and I did what they said, kept the area moist with aquaphor and a bandaid covering it for 2 weeks after the surgery. Were now at 5 weeks on and the wound hasnt closed (its smaller but still a hole) and its been draining. The fluid doesnt smell. A little itchy but generally feel okay. Should I go back? And do I have to pay another copay if I do?
I had two moles removed from my face yesterday around 3pm followed with stitches. my doctor told me to keep it covered just for the first 24 hours then to just clean it with soap and water and to apply the ointment he provided. Today I removed the gause he put on and cleaned it as he said. Just a while ago I showered and cleaned it again but didn't put a bandage as he said only to keep it covered the first 24 hours. As I'm getting out the shower I noticed a bit of yellow drainage is it normal
I had a mole removed from my hip one week ago. I keep it covered and make sure it doesn't dry out and scab. But I thought it would heal faster than it has been. It is still very sore and is a little red around the edges of the wound. It is also very itchy and has a small amount of pus colored drainage every time I remove the bandaid. Does it look infected? Is there something else I can or should do?
