Had planar mole removed and now I can barely walk. (Photo)

Question

About 4 days ago I had a mole on the bottom of my foot removed. I was instructed by my doctor to wash my foot about 3 times a day and apply an antibacterial cream and cover it with a band-aid. I have been consistent with that for the most part, changing my band-aids and applying Mupirocin. On day three I woke up with foot pain and had difficulty walking when I could walk fine before. I am worried that I may be infected and that is where the pain is coming from. I have attached photos of day 3.

If you are worried about having an infection, it's probably wiser to turn off your computer and go see somebody who can evaluate it and give you a prescription for an antibiotic if needed.The red border around the wound might be inflammation or infection.I hope, since this response it two days after you wrote it that you have seen a physician by now.
