Normal Healing After Punch Biopsy?

Buffalo Alice
I had a benign mole removed by punch biopsy from the sole of my foot three weeks ago, just below my 2nd and 3rd toes. The wound seems to have mostly healed, and the stitches are removed, however the top layer of skin has not fully healed over and I still have discomfort and the sensation of a small lump there when I walk with full pressure on hard surfaces. Is this normal healing?
