It was above lip near right nasolabial fold. Monocryl was used under the skin. First 1-2 weeks incision was VERY red and inflamed. 2.5 weeks after the mole removal I began having mild hives all over. At first I was also having flushing of the right cheek and watering of right eye. Saw allergist for extensive blood workup, everything normal. Skin prick just showed allergy to beef and lamb. Still have hives. Sutures still VERY palpable under the skin. Should I have them removed?
