A member asked:

Help please? i had a mole removed a few years ago. the scar won't heal. how can i heal it?

Dr. Joseph Campanelli answered

Need to be seen: A mole that was removed and does not heal is suspicious for skin cancer. You should be seen by a dermatologist for an evaluation.

I had a terrible time with spitting sutures after tummy tuck. About 4 years later ive noticed a black dot in scar line. Ive watched it for a year. Pinpoint size. No change. Would a dermatologist be able to tell if its a imbedded suture or mole?
