I ripped off a mole and it was a bit brown under but has healed and now is a pink scar. ive had 5 opinions (not by seems) but by other health care people. all said it looked ok but should i still worry? it scabbed a couple times didnt bleed much?

Although from your description coupled with the other opinions it appears the scar should be ok, I would suggest requesting a tissue biopsy to rule out skin cancer to be on the safe side. A primary care physician can have a pathologist examine a tissue sample for you. I wish you well with your health!
