Is It Normal to Have a Sunken Area After Mole is Excised/Removed?

February 18, 2012
Asked By:JLHART in Hiram, GA

Atypical-Severe mole was removed from the center of my back (shoulder blades) on Feb. 16. It was located to the right of my spine, so the incission goes across my spine & about 2 inches long. The mole removed was flat & shaped like Texas, so it was definately larger than a pencil eraser. My concern is the area that's sunken above my stitches. Is that normal? Please tell that will go away.
