“Facial Mole - Is the Redness After a Mole Shave Scarring?”
Not Sure
Spent: $300 in Seattle, WA
Mole Shave Pros - I was told the chance of scarring was lower, they did it quickly (within five minutes) and I was able to drive out with the mole removed that afternoon. It was relatively inexpensive ($300, covered by insurance).
Cons - I may have scarring but I am unsure.
I had a facial mole removed (shaved) a little under a month ago (size of a pencil eraser). The scab fell off about two weeks ago. There still remains a pinkish red spot, is this going to fade to normal skin tone eventually, or more or less remain this way? Also, the area is very slightly sunken, but I don't think it would be noticeable if the area was the same skin tone as the rest of my skin.This review is the subjective opinion of a RealSelf member and not of RealSelf, Inc.

I've had numerous moles removed, I am a melanoma survivor. The scar will fade but it takes a long time - several months. It will get lighter and won't appear as deep. Be sure to protect the scar from sun as that will make it worse.
