I had my mole removed around 8 hours ago. I have a plaster over it however there is a clear fluid that is leaking out it for the past couple of hours. Not very much but is seeping out under the plaster. Is this normal?
I fear the rash more than the wound! It's purple, raised, itchy, & seems to get worse daily... I'm also concerned by the fact that the wound hasn't closed at all. It's actually slightly larger now. Initially, the bandaids seemed to cause itchy bumps, so I switched to Tegaderm which felt amazing!, but fluid kept accumulating. Today I stopped using the Polysporin from the doc & bought some Vasoline. Still worried. Upside? It's benign :)
I am now on day 4 after my mole removal. It's now Tuesday night and I just got back from the urgent care center (which is horrible here). They told me it's not infected. I have pictures of everyday after the removal and they look worse each day. I've been keeping it bandaged throuout the day mostly. But would clean it properly and let it air dry after showering and cleaning it. The UCC Dr told me to keep the bandage off now so it'll dry. Is it infected?
