Infection signs after mole removal. Normal or not? (photo)

October 5, 2016
Asked By:j.john in Bloomington, IL

I had a mole removed 5 days ago and it has become increasingly red around the edges and is now yellowish white and releasing pus. I have washed with soap every day and put on Vaseline with a fresh bandaid as per doctors instructions. Should I continue this and it will heal or do I need to see a doctor for oral antibiotics?
