Asked By:deepaknegi in Big Indian, NY

I went to a doctor for mole removal last day and he applied certain cream on the moles. I had to wipe it off after an hour.. when i removed the cream off my face, it left my skin with black burnt mark... it has actually burnt the mole and the skin too.... Is it dangerous to burn the moles off? Would my skin be healed?
