Hello, I would like to know what to apply to a shaved mole . I got mine shaved today & it's bleeding a bit... The doctor told me to only apply vaseline, so I am wondering if it is okay to apply vaseline on a bleeding (not very much) mole on the 1st day, and should I use any kind of antiseptic lotion to clean thr blood in the mole area? Thanks so much
