What Is The Cure For Red Mole On Foot Which Is Swollen, Sore And Itchy?

I have a red mole on the top of my foot. my son scratched the top off of it and it bled and the area around it is now slightly swollen, very sore and itchy. it was a sticky out mole but now it sticks out a lot further, probably twice as much as before. I need to get it checked. I had also noticed that prior to this there was a tiny white dot I the centre.

Hi,Welcome to Health care magic forum.
It appears to be a boil, as it is desturbed, it is infected from the out side bacteria, and became septic. If it is left like that it may swell, still more.
So i advise you to consult a surgeon for diagnosis and treatment.If there is much pus inside, he will incise and drain to remove the pus, then put a plug in the cavity, and do dressing periodically.
If the swelling is minimal, the conservative treatment will be sufficient.
I usually prescribe to my patient with such symptoms ofloxacin, ornidazole, serratia peptidase, and diclophenac sodium.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery.
