What is the healing time for a mole that was removed?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Depends: On the size, depth, and method of removal used. Small lesions that are frozen, lasered, or burned will take a week or two to heal, scissors excised or blade-shaved lesions heal in about a week, and excised and sutured mole removals will have sutures out in a few days to week or so and will take many months for the scars to fade completely. Stay out of sun as long as there is any pink coloration.

Healing time : A mole that is surgically removed takes up to several months to fully heal. Factors such as mole location , wound care, and whether or not stitches were used influence the healing time.
