What Causes Swelling Of A Dark Mole On One Side Of The Face?
My husband has a dark brown misshapened mole on side of his face close to ear..it started emitting a foul odor A few days ago...today it has swollen up and looks like a big boil and is very red I am concerned this could be cancerous should I be concerned?
Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. Thank you for your query. I am Dr. Rommstein, I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can. It not cancerous but it may have become inflammed so you should see dermatoloist and have antibiotic ointments or oral antibiotic therapy. Also, there may be insect bite, or allergy reaction so some cream or there was injury during shaving. All in all, these are not manifestations of tumor. I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time. Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
