Is this normal? Mole was removed a week ago. I've been diligent keeping the area clean, hydrated and covered. Please advise.

I suggest seeing a hair loss expert now to go over your condition and provide you information about your best treatment options. There are great non-invasive options like prp/progesterone and/or hair transplantation. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

I recommend following up with your cosmetic dermatologist for after care recommendations. I recommend Silagen + Bioshield for 6 weeks to help promote healing. Any scarring can be improved with lasers and microneedling/prp. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer
