Can Mohs Surgery Cause Skin Scar?
I had MOHs surgery near the eye two months ago. Inthe last week, the scar turned red making me look like I'd been punched. Tonight I was applying pressure to it and it popped like a pimple with a great deal of pus leaking out of it. The internal stitches have not dissolved yet. Is this an infection?

HI
Well come to HCM
Usually such wound does not cause any trouble if this is so then infection need to be ruled out because this is the only reason that could make the wound red and inflammation, and this need to be treated accordingly if found something like that, hope this helps, take care.
