In general, it is acceptable to eat peaches after mole removal, but attention should be paid to the method of consumption and individual skin reactions.
Mole removal is a minimally invasive skin repair procedure, during which consumption of irritating foods such as spicy dishes, alcohol, highly allergenic ingredients, and photosensitive foods (e.g., lemon, celery) should be avoided, as these may trigger pigmentation. Peaches, as a common fruit, are not included in the above-mentioned prohibited categories, but their consumption should be adjusted according to their characteristics.
Vitamin C in peaches promotes collagen synthesis and accelerates wound healing; dietary fiber helps maintain intestinal health, prevents constipation-induced facial congestion, and indirectly supports wound recovery. The water and natural sugars in peaches provide energy needed for postoperative metabolism, but intake should be controlled, as excessive sugar may delay inflammation resolution.
However, if an individual is allergic to peaches, they should not consume them after mole removal to avoid triggering an allergic reaction that may impair skin recovery. Additionally, to promote skin healing and recovery, it is important to maintain a light and nutritionally balanced diet, and follow medical advice for proper postoperative care and recovery.
