A member asked:
A month ago i had a small brown mole i scraped and the scrape healed but there is still a red mark and the mole grew back a bit darker. why is this?

Returning mole: Because the deeper dermal elements of the nevus ( mole) have been left to continue to reproduce cells. Best to have "excisional" biopsy with pathology review!
