lump under the skin

My 3yr old daughter had a mole removed on her face under her eye about a month ago since i noticed about 3 days ago a hard lump under her skin where the mole was she says it hurts when you feel it but otherwise it doesn't,it is not visable and about half the size of a dime.I felt it again today and it feels a little bigger then it was 3 days ago. I am very concerned and have an appointment with the dermatologist that removed the mole, they said it is not normal and that has me worried can you tell me what this could be asap.
                           Thank You

I believe I have a mole under the pubic area of my skin. It didn't bother me before but now I notice it because it is 3/4 the size of a dime. I can also feel it moving around a little. Is this something I should worry about - its not painful or discolored.

The lump you feel may represent some inflammation at the wound site.  You need to have her examined, of course, and the sooner the better, but I don't think you need to worry that anything serious is going on.

Take care.
