How To Heal And Prevent A Scar At The Point Where Mole Was Removed Using Apple Vinegar?
Hello, Recently I used apple vinegar to remove a mole. The wound is currently healing, but I am noticing a small hole on my skin. It has filled up a lot more from when the scab fell off. Will it continue to fill or will it leave a dent hole on my skin? What steps can I use to help healing and prevent any scar?

Hi. Thanks for posting your concern at HCM
Mole should never be removed by the way you did because it could lead to disfiguring scar and mark.
In your case i would advice that you just apply a topical antibacterial ointment e.g 2% mupirocin twice daily to the site of wound healing. Wound remodelling continues to happen long after the wound heals and a small dent or depression is likely to get filled up by itself, in due course of time.
take care
