Minor trauma: You can use a small amount of antibiotic ointment and a band aid if you want but this should heal quickly.

Question 2

if the mole doesn't itch, bleed or get red it means that i don't have a melanoma, right?

Wrong: Most melanomas don't have those traits. A dark mole which has changed in any way should be examined. Typical changes suggesting melanoma include lateral growth, growth in thickness, irregular margins, irregular pigmentation, leaving if pigment beyond the "mole." Not common at your age, but not unprecedented.

my son has a mole that is bleeding and has scabbed is this safe?

Accepted Answer

Probably: Moles will scab if they are scratched or bumped.  As long as the scab heals in 1-2 weeks and the mole looks the same, then it is ok.  If the scab doesn't heal like any other scrape or the mole looks different afterwards, then have it checked.
