Any doctors out there?

I have a 10 yo athlete (trampolinist) who recently underwent minor surgery, and had a mole removed just below her left cheek (upper left leg). :eek: The cut was fairly deep, but only into the skin. Since returning to practice, she has been favoring that leg, and going crooked on many skills. She says that there is no pain, but there must be some tightness of the skin that is causing her to back off on some of the positions (especially pikes). How long does it take for that scarring to begin to feel normal, and is there anything we can do to work that area to speed the process?

Thanks

Paul
