tguldin621
I had a punch biopsy of a mole on my face next to my nose 2weeks ago . I had 2stitches which have been removed a week ago. It looks pretty close to healed it's still alittle sore if I bump it or smile but not red or scabbed. I try not to touch unless washing face , but would love to put on makeup and take my after photos, but don't want to inhibit healing.
