I had 5 moles removed from my face three days ago, I am cleaning them rice a day with shower water and mild soap, patting dry followed by a layer of Vaseline and band aid, I'm not sure what it should look like wile healing the two big ones are very red which I understand they will be but it is a white puss looking in the middle, should it be? Also how low should I be doing Vaseline and keeping it covered Thanks

Answer: Plato's Scar Serum to a healing scar from a mole removal
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
The bruising should dissipate with time. In our office, we recommend Plato's Bruise Balm for the area to help reduce the duration of the swelling. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles
Thnak you for your question.Generally it is fine to shower/bath 1 week post op of a mole removal. It is best to follow &/or check with your physician regarding post op care.
