Why does my facial mole removal look weird? 3 weeks after excision, week & half after stitches removed. Purple and pain (Photo)

Asked By:justice012 in Scottsdale, AZ

When I first got my stitches out, my mole looked great. It was flat and everything. A couple days later it looked like there was a bump growing and I wasn't sure if it was a pimple. I went to my surgeon and he said it did not look infected so to call back if I noticed more pain. Well it's been 5 days and now it is growing larger, raised, and purple? What is going on? I got two other moles removed that look completely normal so I am extremely nervous why this one looks different.
