A member asked:
I rubbed off a raised mole about a year ago. all that is left is a dark spot from where the mole was rubbed off. if it were melanoma would the mole have grown back by now?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Malignant melanomas are difficult to treat, and need to be proven by biopsy by a dermatologist, with wide excision Moh's surgery to create minimal risk for spread of malignancy.
