had a punch biopsy 2mths ago everything normal. i now have a scar that is bigger than the mole it's self and is purple. I just purchased silicone not the sheets but liquid. I guess it didnt heal right. dont know if it didnt heal correctly since it was on my stomach and in a bad place. but what can i do.
After 2 months, my scar is raised in several spots and still very tender. I had a skin reaction to the stitches, but it is still uncomfortable even after the scabbing has gone away.
I had several moles removed from my face via punch biopsy method with stitches placed. Stitches taken out after five days. I've continued to massage, use silicone scar sheets, vitamin e...etc. It's going on two months since I had procedure & I'm very unhappy with results. I let my plastic Md. know this three weeks after procedure, but he said to Continue to give it time. At this point, should I continue to wait. I hear mix reviews about waiting vs. not? Recommendations ? Thanks
About 2 months ago I had radiofrequency mole removal. The wound healed without a scab. I used petroleum jelly to keep it moist and did not expose it to the sun. Now, where the mole once was, have a slightly elevated, shiny patch of skin that is not quite normal-looking in both texture and color versus the surrounding healthy skin. It doesn't look too bad but it's definitely noticeable. Will the texture/color normalize over time? Is this a scar? My doctor will not tell me what settings he used.
Had a few small moles bottom of my back to tidy my back up.I decided to see Dermo in a well known chain of skin clinics. Discussed options/outcomes & opted for laser removal as least amount of scarring. Had procedure,2 mths on still red / purple not much fading.regreting red scars left by the laser 3times the size of freckles.kept all of them clean, moisturized started using Silcone sheets to reduce the redness no changes gone more purple! what i can do to reduced the redness/speedup the healing
Shaved biopsy was done 07/07/15. I've had this area shaved 3x before & healed normal with no red mark, but mole returned. This last time my derm. went a slight deeper & the raise has not returned but, this mark does not go away. Since July till now I did pick at it & it bleed. I've not touched it anymore all I do is put Aquaphor & Mederma all I want is for the red Mark to go away. What do you suggest. It's only been 2 months since I had it done. Will the red mark go away & heal to my skin color.
I had a raised mole removed from my cheek 7 weeks ago which resulted in an indented scar (unfortunately). (1) Is this considered a rolling scar? Is subcision is a good option for my scar? What are my other options? (2) I would like to get a scar revision asap (within 8 weeks) as I don't see how the scar will improve/fill up even if I wait out 6-12 months as some advised. The scar seems tethered down which caused the surrounding skin to be pulled down. Any thoughts? Please help. Thanks!
About a couple months ago I got a mole removed on the side of my eye, just beside the tear glance, it wasn't too big but it was noticeable. Now as it has healed it left a indent where it was much bigger than the mole was, and it's concave. I don't know where to go from this, what are some things I can do, and my probably costs?
