Asked By:sdhromada in Bainbridge, NY

over 48 hours ago I had a mole cut off at my primary doctors office. He numbed it and then cut outside of the mole and removed it all. There were no stitches and he just put some kind of cream on it and a bandaid. He told me to change the bandaid once a day and put Neospirine on it. Now it is still painful and very tender around it. There is black color in the hole and thick red ring around it. I have also had nausea,dizziness,bad whole body sweats, and tiredness today. Is this normal?
