Pain after mole removal - Cancer: Skin Message Board

Hi there. Can anyone tell me if it is normal to be pretty sore after having a mole removed and stitched from my neck? How long until the pain might start to subside?

What type of removal did you have? If it was an excision, it could be sore for a while, maybe a couple weeks. It is after all a deep removal of tissue. I have not had one on my neck which I think would be a pretty sensitive area.

I just had 3 moles removed from my face, no stitches involved. One came back early Basil Cell Carcinoma so I was VERY fortunate to have gotten to it in time. Anyway, I am still sore at all 3 sites. I think you can expect some soreness for at least 4-6 weeks.
