Can my bandage covering my recent - today - removed mole get wet by taking a shower? Is it fine to do so?

Excising the mole under local and dermabrading the edges at the same visit and then again 6 weeks later would give best results. Cost is roughly $1000 and so worth it.

Thank you for your question.  There are many types of skin and is hard to say how your skin heals.  If there is any scarring left from the mole removal, there are options to help correct it.  A few laser treatments of mironeedling that area will both be an option...

The black spot under the skin may be many different thing such as a benign, nevus, black head, blue nevus or possible a sun damage that may need a biopsy. I recommend you seeing a dermatologist that can check the skin lesion with a special light/microscope called a Dermlite to evaluate the spot.

Thank you for your question. How long ago is recent?  Following scratching the mole I would expect it to look like you have shown. This will take time to settle down. Imagine if you cut yourself anywhere normally - the wound will take about a week to scab up and then as the scab comes off...

Hello sarah99x~ Thanks for sharing your photograph.  Your mole removal site looks slightly inflamed and a little raised.  You may benefit from steroid or antibiotic treatment.  Please follow-up with your physician for a clinical exam and recommendations. Best wishes,Dr. Amy Hsu

Yes, this can be used to remove moles successfully. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. Moles can be removed with laser, radiowave or shave. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer
