Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Read and understood that you have a mole above the lip since you were little and now you are 64, noticed a pus pocket on the mole which on squeezing came out or most of it; you want to know whether to see a Doctor.
It is very uncommon for the mole to fall of like this and is an indication that you be seen by the Doctor so that the falling mole is sent for histopathology examination, proper antibiotics started, local cleaning done.
Once the infection is settled, rest of the mole may be taken care of as per the histopathology report.
You may post a clear picture of the affected area for me to understand the problem better.(if it is possible).
I hope this answers your query, please feel free to ask for further relevant queries if you need to or if you feel that there is a gap of communication.
