Mole accident scratched off 18 months ago just scar now no mole. saw derm said if any concern something would show on skin is this true ..?

Most likely,yes-true: A lesion that would be of concern, would most likely return within a year and a half. 18 months out, you should be fine and the lesion that got scraped off was most likely benign.
