I had a shave biopsy done on my face for a raised mole or a mole. It has left me with a round gaping hole. It has been almost 2 weeks and i am very worried as it is still indented. Will this ever level out or what can be done to fix it with out having an excision done to correct it? I have a wedding in 2 months so I'm worried about what I can do. I believe my doctor went in deep to prevent the re-occurance of the mole. I didn't know she would have to go so deep. What are my options?

Thank you for your question. I would recommend not taking anything until your wound is completely healed. It is advisable to always let your doctor be aware of all of your medications, drugs, and smoking habits you have prior to any procedure. I hope this helps.
An in-person exam is always best. If you have a site that changes at all, it's best to see a physician. But based solely on the photo, it looks like a mole or a seborrheic. In general, warts look more like lumpy cauliflower than something smooth and round.
It can take several months for the pigment to return to your normal skin color. I would encourage you to be patient and to avoid any sun exposure on the area.
