I had an A-typical mole on my left breast. It was removed (sliced off the surfaced). It healed purple and raised. After a year of the removal I had 2 cortisone shots a few months apart. The 3rd shot was a larger amount of cortisone injected. It's been a year. I can't tell if it slowly got worse. The skin looks thin and more pale than my normal skin. The little white dot is not raised. Just appeared one randomly.
I went to a medspa and got it done by a PA everyone told me he was amazing at sutures which they do look good but my lip is so swollen I have had previous injections and wondering if the lidocaine effected or messed with my injections. I have been icing and staying elevated and taking arnica and ibuprofen. These photos are 17 hours after. The doctor keeps saying its normal but its not going down.
I had 9 moles removed exactly one month ago by incision. The scars looked great at first, small, thin- straight lines and very smooth/flat. About a week ago they stsrted to raise and get tender, now they are round, raised and red. I called the surgeon and the office told me it was too soon to inject them and to just wait and see?? To me I would think getting them early would be better? I'm upset that I swapped moles for these large red-raised scars... the one below is on my chest.
Hi All I have a mole that is surrounded by scar tissue from picking at it when I was younger. This was a stupid thing to do and I regret it every time I look in the mirror What could I do to keep the mole intact, but eliminate the scarring? Shave excision and hope it grows back? Steroid injections? I'd love to hear your opinions At the end of the day I really like the little mole and think it adds to my appearance, but in some lighting conditions the mole and scar look like one giant blob
