Q: if a nodular melanoma is popped or scraped off would the area where the mole was heal?

: I TOLD YOU BEFORE THAT MELANOMAS DON'T JUST SCRAPE OFF, THEY ARE INVASIVE INTO THE TISSUE AND SPREAD. HOW DO YOU KNOW IF YOU HAVE A MELANOMA, YOU NEED A BIOPSY TO CONFIRM IT. YOU MAY HAVE A MOLE THAT IS NOT A MELANOMA.
