I had a cancerous mole removed 9 days ago and the incision is red and at times it will bleed and drain. i finished my antibiotics. is it infected?

Have it checked: An excisional surgery for a skin cancer is serious. You should call your physician to see if a quick checkup is warranted. Healing takes time but you don't want to get an infection.
