If I get a mole removed and get stitches, how long will the wound take to heal?!


Question: If I get a mole removed and get stitches, how long will the wound take to heal?
Can I run for exercise?

Answers:

Healing depends on how deep they have to cut to remove the mole. Probably at least a week or two.

Running and exercise will depend on where the mole is located. If running puts stress on that area, your doctor will probably not want you running for a while.
