I had my WLE last week on my upper arm and since then my elbow is swollen and extremely itchy
It was swollen after the original mole was removed but the doctor thought it was bursitis and gave me anti-biotics to take it away. The swelling did go down but there was still a niggle there.
It is now much worse and I just want to claw at it as is so itchy and you can clearly see it is swollen - has anyone else experienced this?
I did mention it to PS when he was doing the WLE but he wasn't concerned.
Hi Dan73
How is your elbow now? I also had a WLE on my upper arm but didn't experience any itchiness on my elbow. Have you spoken to your SCNS about this? I'm guessing the plastic surgeon wasn't concerned because it wouldn't be his area of expertise.
