What can I do to minimize redness and heal, 3 months after mole removal? (photos)
user17810Apr 26, 2023
34 yo female. I had a mole removed from my cheek 3 months ago. It was a shave removal and the dermatologist cauterised the area afterwards. This left a 1x1cm red spot on my face, which has only slightly faded. I kept the wound moist and covered for 2-3 weeks, and am using Keto-Cote silicone gel and sunscreen everyday to prevent further pigmentation/scarring. What can I do to help minimise the redness? How long will it take to heal? I am fair/light skinned and tend to keloid on my back/shoulders.
