Brown streak after mole removal (Photo)

April 1, 2024
Asked By:SezziWoo in England, United Kingdom

I had a mole removed from my hand in January 2024. It had bothered me for a while. For completeness the mole was sent for histology which confirmed it was a “benign intradermal melancytic naevi” I am now 3 months post removal and the area has developed a brown streak in the scar. This has really worried me. It is still less bothersome than the original mole so aesthetically I have no issue. What I am struggling with is whether this pigment is something to be concerned about. Thank you
