Had a facial mole removed, being a full excision with stitches it always leaves a scar… i was fine with this and the procedure went well. What was very disappointing was not being told anything how to care for the wound. The doctor dressed it and said come back in 8 days for stitches removal. The dressing fell off after 4 days and i thought it was ok as it had dried… what i was not told was a scar trying to heal is very bad being exposed to the sun. Hadbeen in the sun for 4 days working. Only found out that this was bad from reading a advertisement leaflet on sunblock scar cream in the reception whilst waiting for the stitches to be removed. When i told the dr who removed the stitches they said “oh no, oh well its too late now..didn't they tell you?” Yes they should have told me when getting it done how to properly care for it i was told next to nothing. Aftercare is awful once you have paid its like they don't want to know anymore. Now left with very red scar on face wondering if its ever going to go to anything like normal skin colour. Was going to get two other moles taken care of but put off now.
