How Long After the Mole is Removed Can I Wear Some Concealer or Make Up?

cipelica
I had moles removed 4 months ago by a laser surgery, then I had scabs which fell off after 2 weeks following the surgery. Now I have scars, red and visible. In the sun I am using a maximum protection but I would also like to cover them with a light concealer ( e.g. Maybelline concealer cover stick, or a heavier coverage e.g.Makeup forever full cover concealer ). My question is whether I can start using make up now, 4 months post surgery.
