Hello. You haven't given details regarding where the melanoma mole wAS removed whether it was from the inside of the ear. Since the white stick is painful o think it is the scab of the wound.when the in incision wound heals and scar forms well scab would fall. So don't worry. Mean while if you get fever and pain get worsened go and meet your GP. Thank you
