How to clean after a mole surgery?
After surgery you should take good care of the area. Cleaning it twice a day is recommended, using hydrogen peroxide and applying an antibiotic ointment (preferably NeoBiotic). Keep the area covered with a band aid, and avoid heavy sun exposure, and always wear sun block. A scab can develop which can take about 2 weeks to fully heal, be sure to not pick the scab prematurely. Pain after surgery should be mild and a simple aspirin should help. If pain is unbearable consult your doctor immediately. Post surgery could reveal other problems as well. The area may get infected if not cleaned and cared for properly. And if the doctor did his job and used sterilized tools then the risk of infection is very small. Scars are almost inevitable. I have never personally seen a scar free surgery, and usually the scar is pretty bad. Though some scars were just a line from where the stitches were. It truly can depend on how good the doctor or dermatologist is.
