I had 8 “superficial” moles removed from my back 2 days ago. I am still in a great deal of pain.

Mostly burning like sensations. Keeps me awake/wakes me up. I have not washed them yet as prescribed by the surgeon. They are bandaged. I have been using extra strength Tylenol to manage the pain but not much help. (3 per 4-6 hours)

There is a simple answer here.  See a doctor.  I am not a fan of the removal creams because of these reactions and, more important, because you don't know what you are removing.  I would hate to think of anybody using this cream on a melanoma.

If you have pain talk to your physician, its normal to have pain for a few days after the procedure. Best, Dr. Emer.
