Is mole removal in winter slower to recover from?

Generally speaking, removing moles during winter does not necessarily result in slower recovery. However, the healing speed can be influenced by various factors, as analyzed below:

The recovery speed after mole removal mainly depends on the method used, individual constitution, and postoperative care—it is not inherently slower in winter. During winter, lower temperatures significantly reduce sweating, making it less likely for wounds to become soaked in sweat and thereby reducing the risk of infection. This actually provides a drier, more favorable environment for wound healing. However, if large temperature differences between indoor and outdoor environments cause skin sensitivity, or if an individual's metabolism is naturally slow, recovery time might be slightly prolonged. Still, this difference is generally insignificant, and proper care ensures normal healing progress.

After mole removal, keep the wound clean and dry, avoiding contact with water and touching with hands. When going outdoors, ensure adequate warmth to minimize irritation from cold air, and apply a gentle sunscreen to protect against ultraviolet rays and prevent hyperpigmentation. In terms of diet, consume foods rich in protein and vitamins to promote skin repair, while avoiding spicy and irritating foods. Allow scabs to fall off naturally—do not pick or peel them. If signs of redness, swelling, pain, or other abnormalities occur, seek medical attention promptly.
