Get it seen: If the mole had truly bled, either you injured it without knowing it, or it is very worrisome for a melanoma. Best get it seen by a physician.

I developed a small mole-like spot on my stomach. It is smaller than a pencil eraser and it started out as dark red and has been on me for about a week. It is now brown and it is flat, but feels like I could peel it off like a scab if I wanted to.
