Hi,
It appears as though the location of the removed mole is causing the delay in the healing. The fact that it is located below the breast means that there is constant friction, sweating, lack of good ventilation to the wound and the pressure of the breast. You should try ventilating the wound properly and avoiding pressure from the breast by using elevated supports. Dusting powders, antibiotic creams and enzymes can help accelerate the healing. Hope your query has been answered. Wish you good health.
