Posted on Tue, 29 Oct 2024

Question: Is this normal healing 3 weeks after mole removal? I feel like it starts to heal and then regresses.

Brief Answer:
Wait till 6 weeks

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query and photographs.
It looks a bit depressed now however complete healing and scar remodeling take about 6 weeks. Apply silicon based gel or aloevera based cream twice daily for a month.
This will help in faster healing.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you.
