A member asked:
I found a new flat brown tiny mole under my brow bone, and i picked at it and it became darker. probably a scab, but i ended up picking at it more and the mole came off. what are the chances i picked off a melanoma? also, will it grow back if cancer?

Need to examine: It is not feasible to know if you picked a mole or a melanoma or something else. You may watch and wait. If the mole recurs and doubles in size, becomes irregular in size, shape or color, bleeds, ulcerates or develops a nodule, see a doctor. Wish you good health!
