How To Cure Red Scab Left After Scratching Pink Mole?
I had a small pink mole one month ago ( circular, barley raised, and about 3-2 mm), I scratched it and it came off bled without stop so I put some toilet paper on it until it dried up. I just now in current time scratched a tiny red scab it left behind on accident, it did the same thing. Should I be concerned?

I think you may be having a haemangioma, a small non cancerous tumor from abnormal blood vessels.However a mole which bleeds may signify a melanoma , a more worriesome lesion which can be cancerous.I would recommend an excision of the lesion and biopsy at the earliest
