Is it normal for my mole removal to look the way it does?

leelouisexxSep 3, 2017
I had a mole removal 5 days ago, shaved and cauterised and a white /yellow layer of skin keeps forming over the top however whenever I clean it it's an open wound again? I've been applying germelene and vaseline twice a day

The best method can be determined by a formal examination of the mole. Generally shave excision is far more accurate than laser excision which is not as predicatable.

I would recommend a shave excision to remove the raised mole on the side of your nose.  I would see a facial plastic surgeon, plastic surgeon, or a dermatologist with experience in cosmetic surgery.

I recommend following up with your cosmetic dermatologist for after care. I recommend Silagen + Bioshield for 6 weeks to promote healing. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer
