A member asked:
What should i do when you just cut your mole by accident?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It may regrow: If its largely gone, it was most likely an epidermal growth, meaning it grew outward and not from the deeper skin known as the dermis. It may regrow at which point you should see your doctor for an accurate diagnosis
