I had 8 “superficial” moles removed from my back 2 days ago. I am still in a great deal of pain.

Mostly burning like sensations. Keeps me awake/wakes me up. I have not washed them yet as prescribed by the surgeon. They are bandaged. I have been using extra strength Tylenol to manage the pain but not much help. (3 per 4-6 hours)

If you have pain talk to your physician, its normal to have pain for a few days after the procedure. Best, Dr. Emer.

I don't recommend picking your mole. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. Moles can be removed with laser, radiowave or shave. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer
