Asked By:Olimpicgirl in Indonesia

I had protuding mole removed on my face about 10 days ago. One is removed via shave excision. Another one is near my nasolabial fold,removed via scalpel incision with stitches. There is a bulge near the incision. Is it happen because of the suturing are too tight? Could it be flat again by time? What should I do to minimize the bulging skin and scar? I remove the stitches in 5 days. When should I start using silicone gel? I'm still using antibiotic gel.
