Is waiting 5 weeks too long to get an excision for an atypical mole moderate to severe?

It’s difficult to tell without any visual documentation. I would advise consulting with a local skincare specialist for a more detailed response.

Once the skin is healed over, it is okay to wear makeup.  The skin on the face is usually healed over after about a week or so.  The risk of wearing makeup before your skin is healed is that a particle will get into your skin impeding healing and possibly leaving a tattoo.

Discuss the diagnosis and removal method with a dermatologist.  Do not attempt to remove it yourself.
