Question about internal sutures after MOHS surgery? (photo)

Great question but hard to assess from the photo.  I would recommend an in person consultation with your surgeon who can examine the area under magnification and lighting. Sometimes a spitting suture can be removed and this will help settle the inflammation.  I hope this helps.

Its unclear what is going on based on the very blurry photo that you posted - in general terms, Mohs surgery removes a skin cancer and then the wound is repaired using adjacent tissues or a skin graft. I typically use absorbable sutures beneath the surface of the skin to reduce tension on the epithelial portion of the wound repair. These sutures can sometimes 'spit' to the surface or become infected.

I would recommend that you see your Mohs surgeon to have the site evaluated. It does appear from the image to possibly be a spitting suture--there is one tiny pinpoint central depression and surrounding redness. If that is indeed what you have, the doctor can gently remove this small deep suture that is extruding outwardly and if needed, also inject some steroid to help reduce inflammation.
