Should i put antibiotic ointment on a scratched mole?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Moist Healing is Fas: When you have a scratch on the skin, whether a mole is involved or not, applying an antibiotic ointment or vaseline at least six times a day will help it heal faster. Once the skin is healed, protect it with sunscrenn until the red/pink color fades.
