 I've had 2 removed
Melanoma runs in my family and I'm very fair skinned. I have had 2 moles removed. The first one was on my back and was scraped out all the way to the muscle. I had several stitches that look like laces on a football. It got infected after the surgery and formed a puss pocket and made the scar even worse. That was 9 years ago and the scar has faded significantly but it's still visible. I don't mind though, better safe than sorry!
The second one I had removed wasn't a big deal. It was the same procedure that it sounds like you had done on your foot where they just numb it and laser it off. I just cleaned it with peroxide on a cotton ball every night and it healed up just fine.
Did you call your doctor to let them know you're having pain?? It wouldn't hurt to give a call over there just to make sure it's okay. |
