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?

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!
