Hi everyone- I had an atypical mole on the inside of my foot excised 8/2022. After the initial biopsy they had me come back for a deeper cut. All margins clear. However, the scar that was left behind almost looks like its a giant mole forming. Is this normal? The original mole was tiny but this scar is huge!
I had a tiny new mole on the bottom of my right foot. I got nervous and picked it out with a needle. After 3 months it seemed to have grown back slightly larger and a bit of a different shape. Can moles grow back differently when you pick at them?
I had a mole removed on my foot a little over 48 hours ago. I have some internal and external stiches, the latter which are scheduled to be in for eight days. In my opinion, these stiches look way too tight with how drawn and wavy the skin is. My only point of a reference is a similar sized closure on my face done by a plastic surgeon, and it was smooth. Is this apparent tension and drawn skin going to increase my scarring, and is there anything that can be done at this point? Thank you!
I recently had a severe atypical mole and had surgical exercision on my foot. Im happy with the removal but its been a few days and it seems very red to me. Im concerned its Infected. Im actually on antibiotics and have diligently cleaned my wound 2-3x a day with hydrogen peroxide and water and polysporin then covered with a clean bandage. Ive done everything to keep it from getting Infected. It is not oozing green pus thankfully its more the redness that concerns me. Thank you for any advice.
Hi! I've had a mole on the sole of my foot since birth, recently I noticed it's became paler and when I squeeze the area around it, it turns purple/red.. do I have anything to be concerned about? It probably looks more like a blister when pressure is applied around it. I will be seeing a doctor asap but that probably won't be until next week since it's new year this weekend! Thank you.
I had a mole removed from the sole of my foot two weeks ago and it is still very painful and I cannot put any pressure on my foot. How long will it take to heal and when will I be able to walk on it? I am 26 years old and generally very healthy.
I had a mole removed by a razor blade a week ago and it has been increasingly painful and to the point i can not walk or put weight on that foot. Is this normal? I have been taking tylenol for the pain and nothing is touching it. my job requires me to be able to walk around a lot and its not happening. What could be wrong. It doesnt look infected, no weird smells just some redness above the removal site. I cant believe that this could be normal.
