I have an infection after mole removal, should i ask dr for refund?

Infection after Mole: You may not have an infection. The normal signs of healing after surgery very closely mimic the same signs of an infection. Make sure you are cleansing the wound twice daily and applying an antibiotic ointment to the wound until it is healed per the instructions of the operating doctor. Also, you should immediately let your doctor know your concerns and return to him or her for re-evaluation.
