I accidentally got my freshly removed mole wet. Will this effect the healing process?

Asked By:atl.green in Gainesville, FL

The doctor told me not to get my mole wet but whenever I went home to shower it accidentally got wet. I put two bandaids for safety just in case and one of them still ended up falling off and I tried to get it out of the water as much as possible. Is this okay? Will it effect the healing process?
