The scar is slightly raised. I don't have any history of keloids, I usually heal very well with other scars I've had. But I am concerned about this one, since its on my face. I'm in my 20s. I took very good care of the wound, kept it covered with band-aids, rubbed coconut oil on it every day, never let it form a scab. Will my scar flatten out on it's own - if so when? Will the color improve?
I got a mole excised by a plastic surgeon from my upper lip 3 weeks ago. This is what it currently looks like and Im getting quite concerned about it. Does this look normal for being 3 weeks in? Will this continue to flatten out and fill in? Will the horizontal marks from the suturing go away or are they permanent? Will I need a scar revision for this? What is the best treatment at this point? Silicone sheets or gel?
I recently had cryo done to remove left over mole from previous cryo an the scab has fallen away and left a round scar that seems swollen raised which makes it very noticeable. Will this flatten or what can I do to help it? I'm very self conscious
Hi! I had a flesh colored mole removed from the crease of my nose that I've had since I was about 6 yrs old(I'm 26 now). The surgeon used a scalpel and performed a deep excision. I had 3 stitches sewed in. I'm now on day 4 of recovery and I noticed their is a little bump where the mole used to be. It's a bit hard and still a little sore.
