A member asked:
What are some reasons why a mole removal wound doesn't heal well, even after several months? not infected, just still reddish with scab.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Non healing mole: is it a pressure point? constantly being irritated? Follow up with dermatologist this week. Post surgery there should be appropriate healing.
