Question

Hooman Khorasani, MD · Answer

Please see your surgeon as they will have specific instructions based on your individual case.  I normally ask my patients to avoid swimming for at least 2-4 weeks after sutures.  It will vary from case to case so please see your surgeon.

Thank you for your question. The answer depends on the type of procedure you will be having to remove the mole. Restrictions from swimming can be as short as a few days or as long as 4 weeks. I highly recommend you consult with the physician performing the procedure regarding your questions and concerns. Take care and good luck.
