A member asked:
How long is normal for a mole biopsy site to hurt? thanks?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If it wasn't a fully excisional skin biopsy with tight sutures in place & was without complications, it shouldn't hurt more than a few days. If it does, have the MD who performed the procedure examine the biopsy site.
