Hi all,
Recently had a mole removed from my neck and waiting for the results. Since then on the back of my neck about a few inches from the original cut my skin has swelled up, is red and sore. I think I can feel a hard lymph behind this. Anyone experience similar, could it be a reaction from the surgery or something more sinister?
Hi Ashsi and a very warm welcome to the online community
I'm not medically trained but this might be a sign that the wound is infected as I was advised to keep an eye out for redness and tenderness around the wound area. You should have been given a contact number for the hospital in case of anything like this happening so it would probably be a good idea to contact them.
Let us know how you get on when you speak to the hospital.

It's natural to worry that it might be something more sinister when you're waiting for results but, as I've found, it's usually not
