Shaved mole removed 11 days ago (Photo)

bunnypink78Dec 15, 2017
My mole was removed 11 days ago. It’s been healing from the inside out. It use to be a divot and now it’s just a small indent. Can I remove the bandages and allow a scab to finally form? I’m allergic to latex and some glues. The ones I can wear ,won’t stay on for very long as it is between my shoulder blade. Anyway the allergic reaction is becoming more of an issue than the mole itself. So can I let it scab over at this point?
