    Currently, there is no clear evidence-based basis in the field of dermatology to support that certain types of common foods can directly cause scars or pigmentation after spotting moles. Most of the "taboos" in public perception are actually more empirical suggestions. The only things that really need to be avoided are foods and alcohol that you are clearly allergic to, and eating as little as possible highly irritating foods that can induce profuse sweating 3-5 days after the moles are not scabbed.

    Having said this, someone must ask, why did the old man say that he should not eat dark foods such as soy sauce, vinegar, and chocolate? This is also a controversial point at present: some traditional concepts and grassroots clinical experience will suggest to temporarily avoid dark-colored foods. This is not because they really think that food pigments will run onto the skin, but more because they are afraid of the heavy psychological burden on the patient. In case of subsequent post-inflammatory discoloration, it is easy to attribute it to eating dark-colored foods, which will affect the recovery mentality. It is simply recommended to avoid food pigments for 2 weeks to avoid entanglement. ; However, mainstream dermatologists generally believe that natural pigments or artificial pigments in food will be catabolized by the digestive system after entering the human body, and will not be deposited on the skin wound at all. I have a friend who has a mole and eats fried vegetables with soy sauce. As long as he wears sun protection and uses sun protection, the scab will fall off naturally without leaving any marks. On the contrary, there is another girl who was advised not to even touch Coca-Cola. She couldn't help but pick the scab and go out every day without an umbrella. It took almost a year for the light brown mark to disappear.

    In fact, instead of worrying about what color of food to eat, what you need to pay more attention to is the irritation of the food. For example, two or three days before the mole is transplanted, the wound is still damaged. If you eat spicy hot pot or super hot Malatang, you will sweat profusely. The sweat mixed with oil will flow to the wound surface, which can easily induce infection. It is not the chili pepper itself that causes scars, but this additional stimulation that will slow down the recovery and increase the risk of leaving marks. Also try to eat as little food as possible that is high in sugar and oil. High sugar will increase the body's inflammatory response. A wound that scabs over in three days may take five or six days to heal. The longer the recovery period, the higher the probability of problems. I ordered it last year I stepped on this pit when I had a mole. I couldn't help but drink a cup of full-sugar milk tea the next day. The wound was a little itchy that night. I endured it for a long time without reaching out to scratch it. Later, I ate light porridge and stir-fried vegetables for three days, and the scab formed much faster.

    If you really can't control your mouth, don't be too anxious. As long as you are not allergic to food and don't let sweat soak into the wound, eating two bites of something you like will make you feel good, which will be more conducive to recovery. Compared with taboos, good wound care and strict sun protection are the core of not leaving marks.
