How to care after mole removal surgery?

Mole removal surgery is a common cosmetic skin surgery. Postoperative care is also very important, as it is directly related to the surgical effect and skin recovery. Therefore, mastering the correct care methods is crucial for patients who undergo mole removal surgery.

How to care after mole removal:

1.To keep the wound clean, you can use normal saline to wipe the blood scabs and secretions to avoid secondary infection of the wound.

2.Do not get the incision area wet before it heals after surgery. It is to apply a waterproof patch when taking a bath and use a towel to separate it when applying ice.

3. Silicone gel foam dressings can be used during the healing process of the incision. The wound will itch during the healing process, please do not scratch it, and the stitches can be removed in about a week.

4. After the stitches are removed, apply silicone gel scar cream first, just apply a thin layer, which can promote healing and scabbing. Stop after the scabbing to prevent leaving depressed scars.

5. After the scab forms, do not apply anything, just wait for the scab to fall off naturally. The skin will also be a little itchy at this stage.

Care tips:

Avoid pulling the wound hard, especially if the wound is on the face. Try to reduce exaggerated expressions to avoid the stitches sinking into the flesh and causing marks. The three months after mole removal is the golden recovery period. The earlier the intervention, the better. Keep a calm mind after mole removal. Don't be overly anxious about mole removal. Keep your body and mind comfortable so that you can recover faster. Do a good job of sun protection to prevent the black marks from turning into brown marks. Another point is not to stay up late. Adequate sleep can improve skin metabolism and play a good auxiliary role in the recovery of postoperative scars.
