How long will my mole removal scar take to heal on my face?

November 24, 2015
Asked By:notasynth in London, GB

Mole was the size of a pencil eraser and slightly raised, light in colour. The entire mole was shaved off and then the doctor used some kind of tool to ensure it was completely gone. After two weeks of using vaseline daily, it healed well. It now looks the same as it did pre-op in the sense that there is a circular reddish scar where the mole was. I am using the after gel morning and night to help scarring - will the redness fade to white? It has been 6 weeks since I had the shave. Thank you!
