Post Mole Removal: Purple/Black Spot Inside Red Healed Wound

john01
Hi. 4 weeks ago I got rid of a flat mole on the middle of my cheek with a few stitches. The stitches were removed 3 weeks ago and I now have a small dark purple black spot inside the red healed wound. What is it? it may be that the plastic surgeon did not remove the entire root from the mole? Is this normal? or what could this be?
