Mole shaved. Should I be cleaning the wound directly?

I just got a mole shaved off on my face yesterday and I woke up with the bandage soaked in blood and it all dried up underneath, I used a pad and alcohol to clear around the area and put ointment pollysporin and a bandage on top but I'm wondering if I should be cleaning the wound directly as I don't want it to get infected, but also if I put rubbing alcohol on it it will hurt a lot.
