After Moh's surgery for basal cell carcinoma, questions about pus, grafts. (Photo)

David Mcgreevy
I had Moh's surgery for a Basal cell carcinoma on my nose. It has been 5 days. I have been cleaning it with hydrogen peroxide, and applying Aquaphor and a band-aid, per my doctor's directions. The pain has gone away, but when I clean it, there looks like there is pus on the site. But maybe that is just the healing process? No pain or redness, Is this normal? Also, I am thinking that I do not want a graft, just let it heal. please tell me if this is a good decision?
