Foot swelling and pain 10 days after mole removal (shave biopsy). Is it normal?

Swelling can last for 2-4 weeks after any surgery.  Please see an expert if you are concerned.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Have you gotten in touch with the person that removed the mole?  If not, give them a call so that they can evaluate your site.  I've seen lower extremities get quite swollen from biopsies and excisions that were never infected.  With that said, there should be a low threshold for antibiotics if there is suspicion for an infection/cellulitis.  It is a good idea to investigate this further, if you are continuing to get swollen and the discomfort is intensifying.Best,Payman Kosari, MD, FAADDermatology, Laser and Vein SpecialistsCharlotte, NC
