Mole & Skin Tag Aftercare Advice
Wound / Scab care
- Keep your scabs covered with a plaster or dressing for 24-48 hours.
- Do not touch or pick at your scabs - this includes allowing clothes to rub it and protecting it from your pillow at night.
- Once the plaster or dressing is no longer being used, apply Kelo-cote (a silicone based anti-scar treatment) twice a day for 2-3 months. Continue to use it if you are still seeing improvements to your scar at that time until there is no further improvement. Kelo-cote can be bought online without prescription - more information can be found at https://kelo-cote.co.uk/
- If you are not using Kelo-cote, use another silicone based scar treatment or Vaseline.
- You can wash your face as normal but be gentle over the scabs and avoid soaking them in water for long periods of time.
- Under the scab your skin is healing. The longer it does so, the better your results will be.
Sun exposure
- Once your scab has come away, please avoid exposing it to strong sunlight for at least 4 weeks.
- Use a minimum of SPF 30 (preferably SPF 50) sunscreen daily e.g. ZO Daily Sheer SPF50. Reapply throughout the day if in direct sunlight.
Keep your wound clean at all times. If you notice it becoming wet, angry or developing puss, it may be infected. If left untreated, this will affect the end result and so please contact us immediately so that we can advise. You may need an antibiotic cream (which you can also get from your GP or minor injuries centre).
