Healing process after shaved mole? How to care for it? (photo)

diabeckJan 10, 2017
I got mole removed about 5 days ago by having it shaved off. The doctor did not really help out by giving me information how to care other than putting Vaseline on it. It's under my chin.. I've googled a few tips on using a scar treatment cream and silicone sheets. Any suggestions?

I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. This can be removed with lasers, radiowave or shave. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Thanks for your question- without seeing it in person its difficult to tell but I wouldn't want to excise this area. I would look at laser vs. dermabraision to help this issue as this may be able to smooth the area. PRP could be added to the mix for improved results.  Hope this...

This is not a normal symptom.  I would recommend getting an evaluation.  Sometimes moles can bleed, and sometimes other lesions can actually fall off.  But the pain in your shoulder and neck is more extreme than would be expected.
