Mole Removed From Shoulder Blade. Incision Raised, Stitches Popping Out. Possibility Of Incision Filled With Puss

Hello,

Two days ago I have a mole removal on my right shoulder blade. Today the incision is very raised and there are two knots in the place where the stitches are popping out. It's also very irritated and red and it seems as though the incision is puss filled. I've had a mole removed before but the healing process was nothing like this. It was a breeze the first time around. This time I'm having a lot of pain. I'm just making sure it's nothing to worry about. Maybe it's the type of stitches the doctor used.

Thank you.

Dear sir

Pus formation is usually associated with fever and chill. Bit if there is low grade infection then there are no signs of classical symptoms present but nee to take a course of antiboitics after doing pus culture and sensitivity..

Some times it needs incision and drainage but it is in later stages

Thanks
