Got moles removed but they didn't disappear. What should I do now? (photos)

katyxo31Nov 21, 2015
I got 2 moles removed 2 days ago off my face with laser, the thing is the moles didn't disappear, they're still there but they just look all burned, the doctor said they're going to scab over and fall out but honestly I feel kinda scared and I dont quite believe him, any suggestions as to what I should do now? Wait it out?

Thank you for your question and I am sorry to hear about your issues after mole removal.  Because of the wound issue I would recommend you see your surgeon for an in-person evaluation.  If there is an active infection you may need to have antibiotics prescribed and the incision cleaned...

The mole does need to be excised. I would suggest a talented plastic surgeon or oculoplastic surgeon perform the biopsy and excision. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles

There is no reason why this cant be treated at an office visit. I suggest seeing an expert. Best, Dr. Emer.

Cosmetic moles can be removed with hyfrecation and laser. I would suggest a consultation to determine whether the mole you have requires a biopsy. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles

This should be shaved all the way down, at least that is how i do it in my practice. I suggest seeing your physician and asking about his/her long term plan.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Moles will regrow if you decide to partially remove them. If you are concerned please have it completely removed by a cosmetic dermatologist.  Best, Dr. Emer.
