Hi I have had 3 moles removed from my face 12 days ago via shave method and now I have noticed these moles have turned yellow and are oozing with pus? Is this normal? Do I need to remove the pus? My surgeon didn't give me much advice on after care apart from using vasseline which I have been doing constantly. I wasn't told on what the healing process would look like and about what's normal and what isn't so I have no clue if they're healing or getting worse. Also when can I wear makeup to cover?
