Monitor: You did the correct process. Now just keep it clean and some antibiotic cream on it. Monitor the area and see if it grows back rapidly and changes color or is irregular. Often the moles are scratched off and do not return. COntinue to watch for infection around the area.

Nothing at this time: In the future, avoid picking at your moles. Bleeding after being picked is to be expected. Keep it clean. If their are any signs of infection in the next few days (redness, swelling, discharge) have it seen by a physician. As long as it heals, no further treatment is needed. If it doesn't seem to be healing or continues to bleed then see a dermatologist.
