When Can I Apply Makeup to a Shave Excised Mole?

May 8, 2012
Asked By:MonicaV

My mole was shave excised and cauterized about one week ago and has yet to scab up. I've been cleaning the site with Bactine disinfecting spray, applying Fougera brand antibiotic ointment 2-3 times daily, and covering with a bandage ever since the removal. I keep the area pretty well moisturized which might be why I haven't developed any scarring.
