Healing time from cauterization?

[Zoey Z]

How long does it typically take to heal after cauterizations of the skin after mole removal? I have three areas that vary from nickel to quarter size that I'm waiting to heal up from. I can't cover any of them due to their location and an adhesive allergy and a couple are a bit red around the edges already. I'm keeping an eye on them, but I'm nervous about something happening to the scabbed area before the healing is far enough along.

Probably 10 days - 2 weeks is about normal. Are you able to keep any ointment on them?

The best thing you can put on them is raw unpasturized honey. You will be amazed how fast healing takes place.
