A member asked:
Had 2 moles removed both cauterized she said to put bandaid on them with neosporn and change the bandaid every day how long to heal?

Not long: Different people heal at different rates. It presumably pretty superficial surgery so it should heal within just a few days. The band aids are just there to prevent the open wound from getting infected by your clothes or bed linens. Make sure you call your doc and get the pathology report and have it explained in English to you.
