I've given up on the scar that was a result from a mole removal on my thigh. I still rub cream (CVS vit E 30,000IU) on it every day and massage it in. Its helped a little, but it still itches from time to time. At this point its just there, been there for 4 years, and it will still be there. My dermatologist says there is a quick procedure to dull the color, but that's pretty much it.
The color on mine isn't a huge issue, really. Parts of it are a little more red but after 21 years most of the color differences have faded completely. It's just REALLY weird textures haha.
I'll have to check out that cream, though, maybe it'll help me a bit?
How big is that scar though? I'm thinking of getting a mole removed and I wouldn't worry about scars (obviously I've got plenty) but it's on my face so???
It really depends on the mole. The scar on my thigh is about an inch long and as thick as a pencil. It was not a good mole. And it itches and stings from time to time, that's the only reason why I still massage it, because it seems to keep under control.
I also had one removed on my breast. That one had no scar whatsoever.
The one on my thigh was biospied through a "punch" and it took a good chunk out of me so the remaining MOHs surgery added to it.
The second mole was "shaved" as a biopsy, and when that came back fine that's all I had done, so no further damage was done.
Do your research for your mole removals . Look for Derms who specialize in skin cancer, moles, cosmetic surgery and the like. Research the type of surgeries available in your area and find your specialist. Ask what kind of biopsies are available. The punch is STUPID. If you don't need it don't get it. And check with your insurance. Most insurances will not cover a cosmetic mole removal but will cover if it is a 'danger' or 'concern'.
