How to manage redness after mole removal laser surgery?
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I had mole removal surgery one month ago. I had a flat mole on the tip of my nose. At that time, I did not have enough knowledge and thought it would be removed with a laser. However, it was removed, leaving a small wound.
After one month, the wound had completely healed, but there was still some redness in that area.
Kindly help.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I read your query and can understand your concern.
Regarding your symptoms, I believe you have developed post-laser skin dermatitis. I do not think it is something serious. However, I advise you to use the following treatments:
Topical 0.2 percent Tacrolimus(immunosuppressant) cream.
Topical ointment 0.05 percent Clobetasol (corticosteroid) (once daily).
0.2 percent Hydrocortisone (corticosteroid) cream (twice daily for one month).
Kindly consult a physician, discuss with them, and start taking the medications with their consent.
Please feel free to reach out if you have any further concerns or questions. You can schedule a direct appointment or follow up via chat, phone, or video consultation.
Thank you.
Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
