I got a mole removed on my back 3 days ago and today is the day I got to take off my 1st plaster. I had gone shower first and then I removed my plaster but when I removed it, there was a brown liquid coming from the 2nd plaster I have on? Could this be dry blood from when it was removed? I am quite concerned as the second plaster is now covered in this 'dry blood' and I'm not sure if this is how it should be? What is this brown all over my plaster?

Answer: Mole Removal Healing--See a cosmetic dermatologist
It's difficult to tell from your pictures. I recommend a combination approach with lasers, Aerolase, microneedling/prp, skin lightening, peels and skin care. Sun protection is essential. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. Best, Dr. Emer
Pain can be variable to each patient, but mole removal usually causes minimal discomfort. I recommend following up with your cosmetic dermatologist about appropriate after care. I recommend silicone gel with growth factors. Best, Dr. Emer
This is difficult to answer without an in-person evaluation or pictures. There can be some drainage with mole removal, however, I recommend following up with your Doctor for an evaluation. I also recommend silicone gel with growth factors to help healing. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer
