I had a mole excision done by way of punch and in time pigmentation returned and a bumps along the scar line. A laser was used to get rid of what came back and a month later I still have a dark bump at top right corner and the scar is indented and red. This is on my face and devastating. Do I have any options?
I had a mole removed recently using an urbium laser. At first it healed really well but now Ive been left with an indent. When looking closer Im not sure if the scar is indented or if theres actually just mole left behind around the edges as it looks slightly brownish coloured rather than pink like the rest of the scar. Do I need a further laser treatment for the edges or should I leave the scar longer to heal?
Exactly one month ago I had a mole on my nose removed through laser. It closed a few days ago and unfortunately now I am left with an irregular sunken red scar. I would like to know if I can do anything, the thing that worries me is the sunken. Please kindly let me know. Also, in my case should I use cream with silicone to improve the scar?
My mole was raised and red but small. The PA said she could remove it and her nurse explained to me that in one month I'd have a flat slightly pink scar. It was removed by the shave technique. It's been four months and I have a purple scar that is deeply indented. It looks WAY worse than the mole ever did. I am looking for advice on what I can do to improve the scar? Micro needling? Laser? I am going back to the PA but really want to hear other opinions because my trust in her is shaken.
It looks like the sutures did not hold the upper portion together well and has left a triangular indenture. My current routine is to clean 2-3x daily and keeping the area moist with a thin layer of Aquaphor to prevent scabbing in hopes that this will allow the wound to granulate and fill back in. Is this what I should be doing? What else can I do? Does it look like this wound will continue to build up or has it stalled? Is there anything the doctor can do to improve the healing?
I had a punch biopsy on the end of my nose 10 days ago to have a mole removed. Had stitches out after 7 days and healing ok but I am upset to see that the wound is quite indented. I'm getting married in a month and worried I'll look a mess on the day that every girl wants to look their best :-( The shadows the indent casts look awful. Is this likely to fill in as it heals? What can I do to help/speed healing? Have some silicone gel and sheet but not sure if I'm doing the right thing.
Had a laser mole removal. Dermatologist wanted to get rid of all of it so he told me he went deeper than normal. I'm fine with that since it has no chance of coming back, but now I'm left with this indention. What is the best treatment to improve this? It's not super deep but it is noticeable. Thank you.
I had a small mole/freckle removed from my nose by plastics. It was excised and stitched up. I am one month postop and wondering if this scar will fill in overtime? I'm extremely self conscious of the scar. But I'm trying to give it time and see if the scar will eventually fill in. I had a two week f/u appointment and at that time surgeon said it was healing nicely. What are your opinions?
About a month ago I used a small amount of apple cider vinegar to remove a small red mole on my nose. It was already checked by a dermatologist a year ago as non cancerous. I know how stupid this choice was and I have already consulted. Dermatologist. He didnt seem overly concerned and gave me a steroid injection which has done nothing to improve it. He also put me on tretinoin 0.05%. Is this just taking a long time to heal? Or am I looking at a scar that will need treatment?
A little over a week ago I used a mole removal cream to get rid of a flat mole I had on my nose. It took 3 overnight applications to scab. I put antibiotic ointment on the scab whenever I could. The scab fell off after 4 days and the new skin did look healthy, but there was an dent left. I put on ointment and a bandaid whenever I go out in the hot sun. Today it looks like a small indentation that is still pink.
