A member asked:
I had a mole excision 6 weeks ago which caused red, raw skin around the incision. there is no infection and the incision, itself, is healed but the skin is around is still pretty red. will it fade?

Yes: It will fade with time. Do not try to do anything to "hasten" it. For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex, if you have sex.
