Scratchd off tiny black spot- shoulder, looked like a scab,came out like a tiny ball.no blood,skin normal,1mm wide mole beside spot,worry melanoma?

Melanoma: Was the mole itchy and that is why you scratched it? If so it may be worth getting the mole examined as itch is a change we look for in moles
