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 have hundreds upon hundres of moles on my arms, legs, back, and chest. My derm won't remove them as they are benign and insurance won't cover the cost as removal is considered cosmetic. It is really affecting my self esteem and I don't like to go out in public. I am considering trying to get some liquid nitrogen to remove them myself. How well does it work to remove lots of flat, brown moles? Some are very large, slightly bigger than a pencil eraser. What about radiofrequency surgery?
I had my mole cauterized 24 hours ago from the centre of my chest. I am prone to keloid scarring but chose to take that risk. The dr put an antibiotic ointment on it and covered it with a small plaster. She told me to keep it on for 48 hours and then remove it to allow a scab to form. Ater doing a lot of research, every consultant and derm on this website from all over the world have stated NOT TO LET A SCAB FORM. So do I apply Vaseline and a dressing OR let it dry straight away? Help
Most plastic surgeons used lidocaine and I want to make sure I'm not allergic to it.I had a mole removed above my eye & the anaesthetic used was lidocaine. The next day my chest was very tight & I had a hard time breathing, which lasted for many hours. Is it possible it was a side effect from the lidocaine? Perhaps it was shot into a vein on my face and went to my heart? Would this indicate an allergic reaction? The interesting this is I've had lidocaine for dental work w/out this side effect.
I had 3 moles removed yesterday by a nurse practitioner(1on my chest, 1on my arm and 1underneath my arm/on my side. She gave me a shot in each mole, and then cut them off. She said that I should NOT be feeling pain after the procedure or the next day. Also, she told me that I could shower the same day OF the procedure, and so I did and took off the bandages and cleaned my wounds with antibacterial soap, and rebandaged them. I have been feeling pain since after the procedure. Is this okay/normal?
They are now raised, look/feel like they are filled with dark blood, smooth and shiny and have not seen any progress in about a month. It is different than how a normal cut would've healed. I'm a teen and workout and I followed her at-home instructions precisely. I need them gone asap, what should I do? This abnormal? How long can it take to disappear and what can I do to speed up the process? should I see a new doctor, dermatologist or aesthetician? what is this scar/lesion even called? Thanks
I'm a 19yr old girl who has two rather large raised moles on my chest that I have had since I was young. I want to get them removed (via a shave excision) but am worried that it will be replace possibly by a keloid scar that could be bigger and more unattractive! What are the chances of getting a keloid?
I have mole on the inner breast cleavage area and need to have it removed. Is there any chance they will puncture or pop my breast implant by using a small needle to numb to area? I am very worried and don't want to take any chances of them doing this , but also afraid of having skin cancer?
