Should my mole removal site be white? (Photo)

Asked By:mee_egan in Dayton, OH

I had two moles removed several days ago. One seems to be doing fine, while the other hurts quite a bit and has now turned white. Is this a sign of infection? I've been cleaning it as my dermatologist recommend, once daily, putting Vaseline and a bandaid on it.
