How should I take care of removed mole to minimize indenture scar? Mole removed 9 days ago. Sutures removed on day 5. (Photo)

The wound is still fresh and in the early stages of healing.  You should follow the instructions of your plastic surgeon.  The healing process takes 3 to 6 months to stabilize before you will be able to tell what the scar will look like.  There are a number of photos on my profile or website which are mostly at around the 4 month mark after mole removal.  Maybe that will help answer you question.

Mole removal begins with a comprehensive examination and consultation to determine the likelihood of a mole being worrisome. Excisional and incisional biopsies are reserved for suspicious moles. But it’s good news that most moles are not problematic and are only cosmetic, thus leading to the option of scarless or non-surgical mole removal with lasers and RF and plasma. Our office specializes in non-surgical mole removal.

Hello vwo05, Thank you for your question.  Your wound is quite fresh.  Without examining you, physically feeling the tissue, assessing your desired outcome, taking a full medical history, and discussing the pros and cons of any treatments it is difficult to be comprehensive.I would followup with your surgeon and allow them to guide you through the healing process.I would continue with the current wound regimen that was recommended.  Scars will continue to mature for the first 6-12 months.Once your skin is healed you can discuss scar management therapies such as silicone based products.  These are typically started at the 3-4 week mark after you have completely healed.Good luck.Dr. Shadfar
