I had a mole removed on Tuesday on my back, it was 6mm in diameter. However, after taking the dressing off last night I've got a cut approx 2-3 across my back? Why do they need so much? They told me that they were going to cut out the mole and some surrounding skin, but don't understand :S x
Smear some Synalar or hyrocortisone cream over the scar twice a day.....don't let other ABers know that i have suggested this as i will get a right "earwigging"........;-)
Many years ago I was involved in a car accident. I was diagnosed with, among other things, a ruptured spleen which required an emergency operation. Although it was 40 years ago I still have a 16 inch scar running diagonally down from my right shoulder round to my navel. It is still quite unsightly but hey, not many guys can boast 16 inches like I can! :)
Could it also be that skin is a bit like T shirt fabric, in that when you cut a hole the edges are pulled back by the general elasticity of the rest?
Be cool now, it'll grow back soon.
