Is Lumpy, Growing, Painful Mole With Whitehead, Oozing Puss Concerning?
I have a mole I have had it for years it s never been flat but a bit lumpy couple of days ago I noticed it s bigger then normal and painful and I noticed a white head on it so I squeezed it and puss came out and still quite inflamed should I be worried
I have read your query and understood your concern.
It seems you have got bacterial infection over the mole.
I usually advice my such patients to apply topical antibiotics like mupirocin 2 percent cream twice daily over the lesion.
you may also require oral antibiotics like macrolides/ cephalosporins if not responding to topical medications.
as per details , it is my best advice for you. If you have any further query you may ask me. .
good luck.
