Can I drink coffee after removing a mole?
Generally, it is not recommended to drink coffee after mole removal. Mole removal involves using various techniques to destroy mole cells in order to eliminate the mole. The typical cost for mole removal ranges from 100 to 1,500 yuan per mole, and improvement is usually visible within 7–10 days after the procedure, although symptoms such as bleeding and redness may occur. Specific analysis is as follows:
Coffee contains caffeine, which has a certain stimulating effect. Drinking coffee after mole removal may irritate the skin wound, worsening symptoms such as redness and pain, and impairing skin recovery. Additionally, coffee contains pigments that, when consumed excessively, may lead to hyperpigmentation at the wound site, affecting skin appearance. Therefore, drinking coffee is not recommended after mole removal.
During the recovery period, it is advisable to maintain healthy lifestyle habits, follow a balanced diet, reduce intake of spicy, greasy, and other irritating foods, and avoid smoking and alcohol consumption, all of which can help promote skin healing.
