Ice after mole shaved?

tiff.conkright
I had a very large mole shaved off my back today and sent in for a biopsy. They removed it because it was very painful and Dr. was concerned it could be cancer. It's been about 4 hours since it was done and the site has become painful. Is it OK to ice the area?
