I had a mole excised 3-4 days ago I've been keeping band-aids/Vaseline on it multiple times a day and changing the band-aids. How long do I have to keep putting Vaseline/ Band-Aids on it? Does it look infected at all? Just want to make sure i'm doing things right. I have a wedding in 3 1/2 weeks and wanted to put cover up on the excision site.
