A member asked:
What does it mean if i cut off a raised birthmark / mole and tiny brown dots appeared in wound?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You did what?: Unless you are experienced at this doing that yourself is very dangerous. The brown dots could be coagulated blood, residual pigmented tissue or possibly healing tissue called granulation buds. Irregaurdless you need to have this looked at. It is very likely some debridement or other surgical work as well as a biopsy of any residual tissue.
