I have this mole on my left breast. I dont think it has changed much over the years, but I also don't pay that close of attention to it. I am 21 years old and have already had 5 dysplastic nevi cut off in my life. I really do not want this mole taken off because I just had breast implants 2 months ago and dont want to mess them up/have complications. Could I get away with monitoring it or do you think it looks suspicious and should come off?

Answer: If there is concern about the mole, biopsy can be done and sent to a pathologist.
I can't make a determination based on this photo, however, I would recommend having this looked at in the office by a dermatologist. He or she may decide to perform a biopsy of this spot to give you a firm diagnosis and peace of mind.
The healing process is different for each individual and normally takes about 7-10 days. You can apply arnica gel on the area and it can help get rid of the swelling faster
Hello, each physician has their own protocol so I would suggest contacting your doctor if you have questions. Generally after shave excision of lesions I recommend keeping the wound covered with a topical antibiotic (like Polysporin) and a sterile bandage until it completely heals.
