I picked at my mole with my nail 3 days ago, and it swelled and got red. then yesterday it started to scab, and tonight i scratched my shoulder and half of the mole came off that was scanned. why did it do this? and is it normal? my mole wasnt itchy?

Part of the mole came off because you had damaged it. Yes, it is normal for a damaged mole. If you can't stop picking at your moles, have them removed. While at the doctor, have you whole body checked to make sure that none of your moles look suspicious for melanoma.
