Hi. I tweezed this mole off (tweezers were washed with soap). Next day it felt like a mild bruise, but I put on antibiotics ointment and it was pretty thin and tame, with a beige/puss color. About 2 days later I got chappy and I tweezed that part off as well. Then it got thicker and felt like a black&blue. I went to see a dermatologist yesterday who gave me mupirocin ointment to put on twice a day for 2 weeks. However it feels very painful, is that normal and will it heal? Also how will it heal?

Occassionally normal moles do change. It is best be evaluated in person by dermoscopy and if necessary a biopsy. Delaying seeing a dermatologist is delaying resolving the issue.
