Can An Inflamed Mole With A Bleeding Lump And Pus Be Treated?
Ive got a mole on my face and over the last few months its been, growing, and becoming inflammed every so often but recently its always inflammed and its had a hard lump under it, that carries in about almost 1cm below the mole under the skin, its a darker colour than my skin, it almost looks black, and is very noticeable, its been bleeding and pus also comes out. It's painful to the touch and is itchy.

hi.
it is best if you consult w a general surgeon with regards to your mole. some moles are just moles. but if with associated signs and symptoms, it could be a pathologic mole. it needs physical examination and diagnostic evaluation will be directed accordingly.
hope this helps.
good day!!
