How long does it take for a laser mole scab to fall off?

If the area of the mole is small, it usually takes 7-10 days for the scab to fall off on its own. If the area of the mole is larger, it takes 3-5 days for the scab to form on the surface, and it may take 1-2 weeks for it to fall off. After the scab is formed, you should pay attention to protecting the scab and avoid scratching it. After the normal tissue under the scab is repaired, the scab will fall off on its own and should not be picked off artificially to avoid leaving scars and hyperpigmentation. If you need to accelerate the time of scab shedding, you can use drugs to promote wound healing under the guidance of the doctor, and the speed of scab shedding will also be accelerated. In addition, you need to pay attention to waterproofing before the scabbing of the wound after laser mole removal, and you can apply topical antibiotic ointment, such as gentamycin ointment and mupirocin ointment, to prevent infection. When applying medication, medical sterile cotton swabs need to be used, and no makeup cotton swabs or hands should be used to apply medication. Patients should also pay attention to avoid sun exposure within 2 months after mole spotting, and pay attention to sun protection when going out, if pigmentation occurs, it can generally fade away by itself after 2-3 months. In daily life, pay attention to rest, avoid straining and staying up late, avoid spicy and stimulating foods such as onion, ginger, garlic and chili, eat more fruits and vegetables rich in vitamin C, and avoid smoking and alcohol.
