MOS surgery in 07/2018. Removal of basal cell carcinoma from skin next to nose, near nose/cheek crease. Left with hole. Advice?

Asked By:mcsniffntest in Columbus, OH

Mid July 2018 I had MOS Surgery to remove basal cell carcinoma fron the skin next to my nose. The surgeon said all the cancer was removed & stitched the site nicely. It's been 4.5 months & the surgery site has a "pin dot" sized hole. It has a white, round "bead" in it. If it were a zit, I'd think it's the white core, but it's not a zit. It's a tiny hole. I mainly notice when I'm using my magnifying mirror. The hole seems oily or wet. It doesn't "weep", however. Should I be concerned?
