A member asked:
I had a 5mm blue nevus removed from the side of my scalp. removal of stitches is scheduled in 21 days, due to being booked it seems. is that too long?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably: 21 days is longer than usual but it is not likely to do any harm. Have a healthy diet, exercise, drink plenty of water, have safe sex, and get HPV vaccine. Wish you good health! Nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/.
