A member asked:

A few months ago i scratched a mole vigurously and it bled and left a black spot. iv heard that if it were melanoma it would have grown back within a few weeks? is it true that if a melanoma is scratched/ scraped off that it will grow back quickly?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Melanoma will grow back. You may watch and wait. If the mole doubles in size, becomes irregular in size, shape or color, bleeds, ulcerates or develops a nodule, see a doctor. Wish you good health!
