Will removing a mole leave a scar? Does removing a mole hurt?

In this world of beauty, having a mole on your face is a sign of failure, so many women will have mole removal done. But how much do you know about mole removal? Today, I will show you how to get rid of moles and whether it will leave scars and whether it hurts.

Removing a mole will leave a scar because no matter what kind of mole it is, it is relatively deep. If you want to completely remove it, you will inevitably damage the basal layer of the skin's growth layer, otherwise there will be residue.

Yes, it will take two to three weeks for a mole to heal. It will also be painful. The spot will be red after the removal. They will also give you some medicine to apply. The general charge is between 10 and 50 yuan per spot. However, some people have a problem after the removal, that is, the skin color of the spot where the mole was removed is different from that of the original spot.

1. Scarring

Generally, after you have your mole removed, doctors will ask you not to drink beverages with pigments, and will also ask you to avoid eating dark-colored foods such as soy sauce and vinegar. Because laser mole removal will leave small pits on your face, if you eat dark-colored foods, the color of the laser area will become darker, forming a more obvious scar.

As long as you don't touch or eat anything containing pigment for more than a week after removing the mole, especially soy sauce and vinegar, then the scar will not be so obvious.

2. Relapse

Generally speaking, if you use surgical removal, the mole will not recur. But if you use laser or other methods, there is still a greater possibility of recurrence. Normally, laser mole removal requires three to four laser treatments. The interval between the treatments is about three to four months. It is difficult to completely remove the mole in one go.

3. Infection

We should not touch the wound formed after removing the mole to prevent infection. At the same time, we should not apply cosmetics on the wound, because this can easily lead to infection.

1. Before mole removal

Most moles can be removed, but if they are not removed properly, they will become obvious scars. When removing moles, you should also pay attention to moles in key areas such as the eyelids and nose. Eyelids are difficult to sew up, and moles on the nose are difficult to repair, so skin grafting or flap transfer is required. Before removing a mole, you cannot apply any skin care or cosmetics. These surgeries require anesthesia. After laser surgery, you must do a good job of sun protection. Follow the doctor's instructions to apply antibiotic ointment or artificial skin before the wound scabs and falls off to ensure the best results. After the removal of the stitches, a cosmetic patch should be applied for 3 to 6 months.

2. After removing the mole

Many people do not know much about the precautions for skin care after mole removal or freckle removal. Sometimes, due to negligence, the results of mole removal are very different from what they expect, and may even cause inflammation and melanin production, making the mole larger and more obvious.

1. Keep the treated area as dry as possible for one week after removing moles or spots. Dry it gently with a clean towel as soon as possible after washing or contact with water.

2. After treating moles and spots, the treated area should be kept away from sunlight to prevent sunburn and pigmentation. Especially within 20 days after the scabs fall off, special attention should be paid to sun protection.

3. Pay attention to eating less sour and spicy food, seafood, beef and mutton, etc. Eat more foods containing vitamin C, and you can also supplement vitamin C and vitamin E and take them according to the instructions.

4. Please do not scratch at will to avoid infection, which may lead to scars or pigmentation.
