Feeling pain, comparable to that of a bruise, post-operatively is normal.
Tingling, burning, redness, tightness at the surgical site are normal experiences as the skin, tissue and sensory nerves heal.

If you start to experience consistent, sharp pain, consult your doctor.

For how long you have the cancer lesion before was detected as cancerous?

Have a good, healthy day!
