moles removed

hi.i had 2 moles shaved from my back 3 months ago.the biopsy said they were ok .they were no reason for concern but i wanted to get rid of them.out of sight out of mind.but now there are some red brown spots in the middle of one and the other one has like a brown red line in the middle too.i am affraid it is pigment but my doctor said it is too soon to tell it could also be scar tisue.the moles were flat and 1 cm each and i have had them since childhood.i am worried.is it ok?i mknow that for flat moles the right procedure to remove is with stiches.hy surgeon said that wasnt necessary.what shall i do now.shall i repeat the procedure by shaving or just leave them as they are or go for stiches.is it posible for this spots to vanish in time and?i must mention that the rest of the shaved area is pale pink and i am thinking that because in the middle the cut was maybe deepper that is why it is taking more to heal.please tell me what you think an what shall i do.thank you.

Hi,
It is too soon for you to decide to go in for another procedure for mole removal so soon.
Wait  for another 3 months by which time the pink areas will be well healed and also the areas of pigmentation you are worried about would be more defined and then you can decide with your dermatologist what options you can exercise.
Scars usually heal with hyperpigmentation, so you must be absolutely sure before you un-necessarily attemt a removal one more time.
Normally after any injury especially surgical scars the area regains its original strenghth only after 2 years. That is when the healing process is complete.
