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.

Typically facial sutures should be removed at 5-7 days in my practice. You may want to check with the office that did the procedure, as they may have made a simple error when counting in the calendar. My advice is to check.
Good luck and I hope this has been helpful.

This is a great question and is one of those situations we get asked each and every day. First, make sure that a board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon sees this, and with you, determine the best way to remove the mole. Plastic surgeons usually recommend an excision with a linear line...
I would recommend that complete surgical excision of the lesion be done in a series of excisions to give the best outcome. I recommend you see a plastic surgeon for an evaluation.
