Recovery process after liquid nitrogen mole removal

Some people have moles on their faces or bodies, which they feel are not very beautiful, so they will try various methods to remove them. The method of using liquid nitrogen to remove moles is relatively common. This method has relatively few side effects and is simple and convenient. Moles are accumulations of melanin. Those that are level with the skin generally do not require treatment. However, if they are larger and protrude from the skin, you should pay attention to them because they may become cancerous. Let’s take a look at the precautions during the recovery process after liquid nitrogen mole removal.

1. Do not let the wound get wet within three days

Getting the wound wet is probably allowed in any mole removal method, mainly to avoid wound infection and slow down wound healing. Therefore, in most cases, it is best not to get the mole-removing area wet. If possible, it is best to gently wipe the area without mole removal with a towel within seven days. And it is best not to use facial cleanser or skin care products after mole removal.

2. Avoid prolonged sun exposure

The sun is the natural enemy of the skin. Exposure to the sun will increase the deposition of melanin in the skin. It is best not to expose your skin to the sun for a long time on a normal basis, let alone if you have moles or scars. Therefore, it is best to wear sunscreen when going out.

3. Eat less spicy food, soy sauce, sweets, etc., and eat more vitamin C and crude fiber food

Food intake will chronically affect the condition of the skin. It does not mean that eating a little bit of some foods will lead to a poor effect of mole removal. Just don't eat too much or eat it often. Spicy food, irritating food, seafood, etc. may cause skin inflammation, and soy sauce, sweets, etc. may cause melanin deposition on the wound. Eating more foods containing vitamins C and E can accelerate metabolism and make the skin more beautiful.

4. Do not touch it with your hands and do not wear a mask to avoid bacterial infection

People like to touch some wounds and may even pick them, but this may cause the wound to fail to heal and may also cause infection. If people wear masks, some bacterial molecules will fall on the mask when they breathe and talk, and wearing it for a long time may contaminate the wound.

5. For better recovery, you must wait until the scar falls off naturally

Basically, the scabs will fall off naturally in seven to ten days. If you pick at the scars beforehand, it may damage the skin again, so be patient! But don't forget the above points after they fall off naturally!
