I removed a mole and it left a black spot. How can I get rid of it without going to a doctor?

Question

How do I get that to go away without going to a doctor?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

I also think you should see a physician regardless to ensure the mole isnt still present.

Hyperpigmentation--Clear+Brilliant/Venus Viva, emeragecosmetics.com Cosmelan/Enlighten/AERIFY peel, Aerolase, Reveskin Hydroquinone

this is post inflammatory hyperpigmentation/melasma/discoloration that needs cosmelan or enlighten peels at home which we can do virtually and send to your home along with aerify peels regularly, vivatia foam, restorsea 10x, faith essence serum, and cosmelan 2 cream. see emeragecosmetics.com where we do free skincare consults daily and can send you peels and skincare. proceeds go to help BLM and LGBTQ+ non for profit organizations.

Hyperpigmentation from any type needs a combination approach of peels like cosmelan, enlighten and aerify,  lasers like clear and brilliant and aerolase or laser genesis, radiofrequency like venus viva, and constant skin care and sun protection.  Bimonthly facials with silk peel dermalinfusion is essential to hydrate, exfoliate and infuse vitamins and antioxidants into the skin.  If you have acne you can do additional treatments and peels to get more improvement.  I suggest a formal consultation with an expert in lasers and peels. Best, Dr. Emer.

I recommend seeing a dermatologist for anything related to moles since you must first verify that the mole wasn't cancerous. Even if it's just pigmentation left behind, a prescription will be needed for a lightening cream. Good luck!

Hi! You do need to visit your dermatologist as it may mean the mole is not completely removed and needs further removal. Even if it is a discolored scar, re-evaluation would be safest - and further solutions can be discussed at that time. Best to you!
