When is the best time to remove moles? Avoid summer

Moles in many places on our faces have bad meanings, so many people will remove moles. However, you should also know some common sense when removing moles. It is best not to remove moles in the summer because the sun is very strong in this season. You should pay attention to sun protection after removing moles to avoid leaving scars.

1. When is the best time to remove a mole?

The best time to remove a mole is to avoid summer, because you need to avoid sun exposure after removing the mole, and the ultraviolet rays in summer are relatively strong and can cause greater damage to the skin. If you choose to remove a mole in the summer, it is very likely that the skin will cause pigmentation due to sun exposure and other reasons. It is best to do it in spring or autumn. Some scars will be left after the removal, and these wounds can be scabbed and fall off by themselves. However, you must not pick the scabby area with your hands, as this will not only cause infection of the wound, but also leave scars.

2. Precautions after laser mole removal

After laser mole removal, you must ensure that the wound is clean. Do not touch the wound with hands that are contaminated with bacteria. Otherwise, the wound will become larger after infection and heal more slowly.

Never get it wet to prevent infection. Otherwise the wound will get infected and swell. If you accidentally touch it when washing your face, wipe it slowly with a clean towel and dry it.

You can wear a mask. Some people may ask that it is weird to wear a mask because the wound is exposed to the outside after laser mole removal. At this time, the sun will cause the greatest damage to the skin. Black marks will be left after sun exposure. Even if the mole is removed, it will still not match the fair skin tone and will not be even at all.

Pay attention to your diet and eat less spicy food. Do not eat onions, ginger, garlic, chili peppers, etc. to avoid irritating the wound. You can eat sweets, but it is best not to eat barbecued food because the condiments are too many and too complicated, which may cause scar hyperplasia.

Do not wear makeup. Girls definitely remove moles for beauty, but they should avoid the wounds and not apply makeup in the first few days after the removal.

It will generally heal in 7 days. When it is almost healed, do not rub your face hard. Wait for the wound to form a scab and fall off automatically. If you can't help but pick it with your hands, it will leave scars.

If you have any questions during treatment, please return to the hospital for a follow-up examination in time. Some people also say that erythromycin can be applied, but I personally don’t recommend it.
