A member asked:

3 weeks ago i scratched a mole off that had changed colour overnight it left a pigmented legion .should i wait a few weeks to see if it grows back to go to a dermatologist? would it have spread by now and caused symptoms by now if it were melanoma?

Probably not melanoma but instead of procrastinating and guessing it might be better to see the Dermatologist sooner than later.

Please consult with a Dermatologist Doctor who can give you a through examination and the correct recommendations and treatment. If you are not confident in your Doctor see another for a second opinion.
