Hello sarah99x~
Thanks for sharing your photograph.  Your mole removal site looks slightly inflamed and a little raised.  You may benefit from steroid or antibiotic treatment.  Please follow-up with your physician for a clinical exam and recommendations.
Best wishes,Dr. Amy Hsu

Some moles get inflamed and that what yours seems to have going on. Infection is less likely but you should show your doctor. 
Steroid ointment works great for it.
