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.
Check with your operating surgeon for their directions regarding postoperative care. Typically, though, at one week post surgery patients are able to shower and wash over their incision. We do caution them about submerging the wound in a bath tub or pool for another week or two.
In general, it should be fine to get the area around a mole removal wet after suture removal a week after the procedure. It is always best to check with the physician who performed the procedure though, just to make sure there is no circumstance that would influence the decision to get it wet or not.
On your fair skin, I would be concerned about any dark mole that 'pops up' within a short period of time. Being conservative is worth the extra few steps in seeing a doctor. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles
I would use local wound care followed by twice daily administration of Plato's Medicinals Scar Serum. In our office, we use Ceralase cream after the shave procedure. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles
I suggest seeing a cosmetic dermatologist with experience in scars. There are many options at this point, I would start laser treatments 3-6 weeks after the sutures have been removed. Best, Dr. Emer.
