What Could A Puss-filled Lump After Mole Removal Indicate?
Hello! I had a mole under my right ear, which was removed with the electro cautering device 2 months ago, biopsy went out ok, not malign. and in the scar place in the lower part i had like a small lump with a little bit of puss. The area was hurting, so i squeeze gently and a little bit of puss came out and some blood, it doesn`t feel at pain anymore. I applied a little bit of betadine on it. I hope it`s nothing bad , can you answer me please, thanks so much.

Hi. Thanks for the query. As per your question, I believe you contacted an infection of that region following the procedure. As the pain has come down , it must have healed. If there is persistent pain and pus, better take a course of antibiotics and painkillers. If not, just relax. You ll be fine.
