A member asked:
I had a mole that scabbed over and now the scab has fallen off leaving just a tender bit of pink skin like a normal wound. should i be worried ?

Should be checked: It may not be a mole , and if it is need to be biopsied or excised for biopsy to make sure it did not turn into a melanoma. . See your doctor for clinical evaluation .
