Three weeks is a while however the nose is relatively cartilaginous. If the area of the ulcer is smaller and the area of redness smaller or not expanding, continue the topical treatment and cleaning and keep the ulcer moisturized with the topicals. If the area of redness or the ulcer is getting bigger or if you have fever , seek urgent medical evaluation for probable oral antibiotics.

Three weeks is too long for the incision to not heal. Contact the doctor who removed the mole.
