My husband got a 2mm blue nevus removed after biopsy indicated it was abnormal. stitches will be removed in 7 days. any after care to avoid scars?

Scar care?: With a 2 mm nevus the scar should not be very large. It depends where on his body it is and it is cosmetically acceptable to both of you. Wait and see. Then you can always see a cosmetic plastic surgeon if necessary.
