A cancerous mole was cut out a couple of years ago and the doctor managed to take out all the melanoma. a few days ago one of the scars started to swell from the inside. initially i thought it was a huge pimple but nothing but blood came out.

Mole: Best to have it rechecked asap. If melanoma, excision may not have been adequate. May need imaging studies, sentinel lymph node biopsy, further treatment depending on results
