Am I healing correctly after a punch mole removal on my nose? (Photo)

December 8, 2016
Asked By:barlohibs in Edina, MN

I got a mole removed on my nose two days ago and am concerned about how it is healing. Some white bumps are starting to form around the three stitches and it is pussing/bleeding. Is this normal for healing? I talked to my dermatologist today and she said that she thinks it's just irritated. Thoughts?
