Can i swim in the sea after i got my mole cut?

Not until healed: Sea water contains many organisms which can infect the skin which is not healed. Wait until your skin is healed over without any scabs or sutures. Typically after 10 days the skin is healed on the face but 14 days for the legs and trunk.
