A member asked:
I might have accidently scratched off the top of one of my moles? what do i need to do? and will this cause any serious damage? thank you!

Moles: Usually this is not an issue. Repeated trauma (by scratching) may cause problems - namely cancer of the skin . Most moles are normal unless they get very hairy, have irregular edges, have redness on the edges and start increasing in size.
