Is A Foul Smelling Discharging Mole A Cause For Concern?
My mother has a large mole and it caught on something yesterday and now is oozing and has a very foul odor. She is 95. The practical nurse caring for her has put a dressing on it. Not sure what is causing the odor. The practical nurse said it isn t infected. But the odor leads me to wonder what is causing it. They wore masks to go into the room.

Is A Foul Smelling Discharging Mole A Cause For Concern?
Hello, It is an infected mole. Clean the area with soap and water and apply topical antibiotics like mupirocin. A biopsy must be taken from the edge to rule out cancerous change. Consult a general surgeon and he will direct you accordingly. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Regards, Dr Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
