Posted under Mole Removal q&a

I have just gotten my mole removed yesterday; it was shaved. Can I use Vaseline to moisturize it? Can I use Dove soap to wash it

When my dermatologist shaved my mole off my forehead he didn't give me specific direction about aftercare. They were busy and they rushed when he finished. So far I've put Vaseline on it almost every 4 hours and kept a bandage on it. I need further instructions.
