Had three moles removed and feeling pain the day after procedure. Is that normal?

sammyjgillespieMay 9, 2018
I had 3 moles removed yesterday by a nurse practitioner(1on my chest, 1on my arm and 1underneath my arm/on my side. She gave me a shot in each mole, and then cut them off. She said that I should NOT be feeling pain after the procedure or the next day. Also, she told me that I could shower the same day OF the procedure, and so I did and took off the bandages and cleaned my wounds with antibacterial soap, and rebandaged them. I have been feeling pain since after the procedure. Is this okay/normal?

I recommend following up with your Doctor about your results and concerns.  Moles can be removed with laser, radiowave or shave. I recommend Silagen + Bioshield for 6 weeks after removal to improve healing. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

The safest thing to do would be to not do any strenuous exercise until the sutures from the mole removal on your back are removed.  You could contact the office where you had the procedure to get further advice.  The type of sutures used and the size of the wound may influence the decision on w...
