I had a mole removed on my bra line two weeks ago. It has a stinging feeling.

HeyRealSelfOct 6, 2015
Sometimes in the middle of the night it wakes me up like I just got a knife stuck in it. My husband says it looks normal, but the itching seems to be right next to it where it is slightly red. My dermatologist is on vacation until next week -- should I wait for her return or go to another Dr now?

Our office specializes in mole removal and these moles are often amenable to hyfrecation and shave biopsy. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles

I would suggest the local wound care. Once the skin heals over, I would use Plato's Scar Serum twice daily to the skin. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles

There are several non-surgical methods I would use to minimize scarring and reduce the size of your moles. Laser may be a good option. Best,Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles
