I had a mole removed on my leg about a month and a half ago, and the scar hasn't subsided. It's still a very deep purple/black. The results came back saying that the mole is atypical and I need to return in 3 months. Does the nature of my scar mean my mole may not be benign?
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
I fear the rash more than the wound! It's purple, raised, itchy, & seems to get worse daily... I'm also concerned by the fact that the wound hasn't closed at all. It's actually slightly larger now. Initially, the bandaids seemed to cause itchy bumps, so I switched to Tegaderm which felt amazing!, but fluid kept accumulating. Today I stopped using the Polysporin from the doc & bought some Vasoline. Still worried. Upside? It's benign :)
When I first got my stitches out, my mole looked great. It was flat and everything. A couple days later it looked like there was a bump growing and I wasn't sure if it was a pimple. I went to my surgeon and he said it did not look infected so to call back if I noticed more pain. Well it's been 5 days and now it is growing larger, raised, and purple? What is going on? I got two other moles removed that look completely normal so I am extremely nervous why this one looks different.
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.
My mole changed in color and became painful very suddenly. I scheduled an appointment with my dermatologist for 2 months from now, and they felt comfortable waiting until then to look at this mole, because I have no history of melanoma. I'm in a panic, thinking it should be seen before then. I called around and can see a new dermatologist in one month. Is it safe to wait a month or two? No one was willing to expedite the process. How much worse can it get in a month?
Hi. 4 weeks ago I got rid of a flat mole on the middle of my cheek with a few stitches. The stitches were removed 3 weeks ago and I now have a small dark purple black spot inside the red healed wound. What is it? it may be that the plastic surgeon did not remove the entire root from the mole? Is this normal? or what could this be?
