Is it normal to not be able to barely walk or stand after mole removal?

March 1, 2016
Asked By:Bellukavino in Winston Salem, NC

I had a mole removed by a razor blade a week ago and it has been increasingly painful and to the point i can not walk or put weight on that foot. Is this normal? I have been taking tylenol for the pain and nothing is touching it. my job requires me to be able to walk around a lot and its not happening. What could be wrong. It doesnt look infected, no weird smells just some redness above the removal site. I cant believe that this could be normal.
