Question

I recent have a coupe moles removed from my face the scab is starting to fall off but still a pink mark around it .. what is the normal healing process ..

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

This can be typical. I recommend following up with your cosmetic dermatologist for after care recommendations. I recommend Silagen + Bioshield to promote healing. Any scarring can be improved with lasers and microneedling/prp. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Amy Y. Paul, DO, FAAD · Answer

It takes a scar about a full year to be at its final outcome, so please be patient with your scars.  We recommend a scar cream such as Mederma or Scar Guard after the skin gets a pink new surface.  You should avoid sun and use a good sunscreen also.  If you are still not pleased with the way they heal in a few months, see your dermatologist to have them checked.
Best of luck!
