I'm looking for advice on mole removal aftercare, any suggestions? (Photo)

Asked By:acarr420 in Santa Ana, CA

I got 4 moles on my face shaved off yesterday. My doctor told me to let it scab and don’t pick at it so it will heal in a week. But I was reading people’s advice on aftercare and I heard that letting it scab will make the scar worse. I’m just confused now, should I let it scab or not? I’ve been cleaning my face gently with a dove beauty bar and warm water and then diluting hydrogen peroxide and cleaning off the cuts and then adding aquaphor with a bandaid on top. Am I doing this correctly? Thanks
