Hello dear.
Welcome to healthcaremagic.
I have read your query and understood your concern.
It seems you have got bacterial infection over the mole.
I usually advice my such patients to apply topical antibiotics like mupirocin 2 percent cream twice daily over the lesion.
you may also require oral antibiotics like macrolides/ cephalosporins if not responding to topical medications.
as per details , it is my best advice for you.
If you have any further query you may ask me. .
good luck.
