Please consult your pcp

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Thanks for posting the query

Do not worry! The painful mole could be related to the presence of inflamed lymph node situated beneath it. Hence, I would suggest you to consult your pcp first and get a complete examination done.

Hope I have answered your query; I'll be available for the follow up queries.
