Asked By:sammyjgillespie in Portland, OR

I had 3 moles removed yesterday by a nurse practitioner(1on my chest, 1on my arm and 1underneath my arm/on my side. She gave me a shot in each mole, and then cut them off. She said that I should NOT be feeling pain after the procedure or the next day. Also, she told me that I could shower the same day OF the procedure, and so I did and took off the bandages and cleaned my wounds with antibacterial soap, and rebandaged them. I have been feeling pain since after the procedure. Is this okay/normal?
