Had a mole removed on my ear. It looks like a bite was taken out of the cartilage from the side view. Bit painful to sleep. Question is can I just let it granulate in? Or is the cartilage an issue? If I can, when can I return to swimming in a pool (competitive swimmer). The problem is I had the surgery done in SC and moved to Cincinnati. Difficult to get back for the graft. Was done 1 week ago. From the front it isn't noticeable, but from the side a bit worse.
Doctors ask me to keep it as much dry as possible and do not moist it? Would be very grateful for any recomendations how to speed up the healing process and the answer if it is healing properly. It looks like it is healing from sides to the inside, but will I get a scub? PS. in how many weeks can I start swimming? Thank you very much in an advance for your answer.
