Mole Removal + Infection Q&A

I have had a rhinoplasty with implant taken from rib in Feb 2018. Recently I had a mole on my nasal bridge. Considering I have an implant under the nasal bridge, is it okay to have the mole removed by a dermatologist? Will it cause any harm to the implant underneath? Will it lead to an infection of my implant?

I had a shave biopsy done in October 2022 on my chest. It became infected and I had been told by my dermatologist this would heal. After a few months my scar on my chest now looks like this. Will it ever get better?

I just got a mole removed on my left thigh because it was always getting inflamed and irritated from my jeans. The doctor just lanced it off then used silver nitrate to stop it from bleeding. They told me to keep it moist with petroleum jelly and keep a bandaid on it for 2 weeks which I did but now that its been 2 days since the bandaid is off and it looks infected to me and I dont know what I should do or if its even normal.

I had a mole shaved off my stomach 5 days ago. The site is more tender than it was at first. I'm not sure if what I'm seeing is a normal healing process or a potentially worrisome infection. I've been applying antibiotic ointment and keeping it covered. I put hydrogen peroxide on it this evening, and I'm not sure if that would also contribute to slightly increased pain now.

Hi, I got my face mole removed 2 days ago. The area burns a little, its swollen and pus like fluid is around incision but not leaking. Is this normal? What should I do? I cant get in touch with my surgeon. Thank you.

I got a mole removed 4 days ago by shave excision then was cauterized to stop some bleeding. I have been cleaning the incision everyday with warm water and mild soap, applying Vaseline and covering it with a Tegaderm Pad. There has been a small amount of thick, light brown discharge with a slight odor. The excision is located under the breast, and is very painful with any type of movement. I wondering if it looks like it is healing properly or looks infected?

I had a mole removed 10 days ago which had dissolvable stitches. It appears that the stitches had began to dissolve leaving an ugly scab which is quite itchy. Im not sure if it is infected or just healing

I had a mole excision on my toe with a full thickness skin graft performed 2 1/2 weeks ago. It still is very swollen and tender. I am starting to get worried about infection. I have an appointment with my Dr. but can't get in for another week. Just wondering if this look like a normal healing for this procedure. Thank you in advance for you input.

I got a me removed about a week ago and it began to scab but the scab has now fallen off and it is essentially and open wound. It is bleeding and around the removed area it is swollen and very itchy.

Doctors ask me to keep it as much dry as possible and do not moist it? Would be very grateful for any recomendations how to speed up the healing process and the answer if it is healing properly. It looks like it is healing from sides to the inside, but will I get a scub? PS. in how many weeks can I start swimming? Thank you very much in an advance for your answer.
