When Can I Apply Makeup (Concealer/foundation) to my Skin After my Stitches Were Removed from Mole Removal? And Should I?

August 29, 2013
Asked By:RSMember2319

I recently had a mole removed from my chin, there was an excision made and I had my stitches removed 8 days ago. Ill be going back to work soon and I don't want my coworkers to see a redish area with a visible line where the skin was stitched up. I want to cover it up without using a bandage. But I want it all to be safe for that skin area. So when can I apply makeup. Your advice is greatly appreciated! Thank you.
