hi
You just had a procedure done on your face ie mole removal...And it leads to development of a small wound...Now as you are saying that the skin has become rough and dry, so this is a normal mechanism of wound healing,,,Any wound which develops on our skin leads to some itching while healing....
But what is worrisome is that you are developing small lesions around it,,So i think you should use some antibiotic cream like mupirocin gel over the affected area 2 - 3 times a day ...so as to prevent any superadded infection over the lesion,,And take oral vitamin c tablets which will speed up the healing process....
Hope it helps
