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

Asked By:leelouisexx in Manchester, GB

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

Laser or a shave excision to remove a mole? It seems the laser method is less frequently done? Any advice?
Munir Somji, BSc, MBBS says:

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.
