A member asked:

Is it bad to pick at a mole and make it bleed?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not really good: It's not good to pick at anything though i find it hard not to. Despite rumors that this increases risk of cancer, i'd be more seriously concerned that this is bugging you, and thus should come off.
