I have this painful bump that I get in the same spot on my lip and it isn't a cold sore. It's bright white. It stays for a while and it looks more like a hole/crater than a bump. Is it cancer?

No. Extreme pain is not normal after Mohs surgery. Of course, pain is subjective and everybody experiences it differently, but I would recommend that you follow up with your doctor to determine what is causing you so much pain and if that doctor cannot help, seek a second opinion. Good luck.
Based on your surgical dates you are in "contraction" wound healing stage. During this healing stage the scar begins to thicken by pulling tissue towards the center of the scar. If muscle was involved during surgery and/or reconstruction, tension headaches that feel like a tight band around...
If the adjacent sutures are still intact and the surgical wound has not pulled open it should have little effect. If the wound is pulling apart your dermatologic surgeon should have an after hours emergency number.
