Healing from mole removal. Will this divot eventually fill in?

May 25, 2010
Asked By:Stad29 in Oregon

I had a very slightly raised mole about the same diameter as a pencil eraser removed from my cheek via radio surgery. Currently it is bright pink and there is a fairly good sized divot where the mole used to be. Will that eventually fill in some or will it be like that permanently? Thanks.
