Question 1

i found a new flat brown tiny mole under my brow bone, and i picked at it and it became darker. probably a scab, but i ended up picking at it more and the mole came off. what are the chances i picked off a melanoma? also, will it grow back if cancer?

Accepted Answer

Need to examine: It is not feasible to know if you picked a mole or a melanoma or something else. You may watch and wait. If the mole recurs and doubles in size, becomes irregular in size, shape or color, bleeds, ulcerates or develops a nodule, see a doctor. 
Wish you good health!

Skin doctor: Any mole that changes in size, color, or shape should be examined by a Dermatologist for definitive answer.

Question 3

I would recommend: not peeling them off. You're at risk of causing infection by doing that. Please see your doctor or a dermatologist to be properly diagnosed.

Question 5

i have a scab on my mouth and a cut on my chin that's not healing is there anything that will make my skin grow back?

Accepted Answer

Wound healing : Have you had any problems with wound healing in the past? Delayed wound healing can be caused by a number of factors. Chronic illnesses, such as diabetes or other immune diseases, can cause delayed wound healing. The environment of your skin can also be a factor. For example, moist areas may cause healing delay. Nevertheless, I would seek medical attention.
