Surgery went well, they said the dermatologist got it all when she first removed the mole. I had about a 6"×2" excision that they were able to stitch shut, so no grafts. They also removed 2 nodes from my armpit to check them for cancer, all the tests came back negative. I go back to the dermatologist in November for my next full body check. Thanks for all the comments and stories, it is greatly appreciated!!!

@joe0818 Glad to hear the surgery went well for you! There are several remedies to help the scar heal nicely, one that several people suggested to me was Vitamin E. Break open a capsule and use the oil inside on the stitch line to help. It worked for me, not sure if you want to try it? I also used arnica montana, a homeopathic remedy, to assist with any bruising.
