I miss my mole

Not sure if birthmark is the correct topic...anyways,

So I had this PMS zit under a mole on my face this week. It's a mole I actually like (maybe some would call it a beauty mark just bc of where it is...w/e). And I picked at it, then mindlessly picked at it a little more..then yesterday I picked it off...
Yes there was zit 'stuff' in it, so it wasn't just a deformity of the mole.
I totally didn't mean to. It was dumb of me to mess with it in the first place. now it just looks like raw skin.

Any chance it will come back? There seems to be maybe one tiny fragment of it left. maybe.

Anyone ever heard of a way to encourage moles to grow back? (probably not huh. usually people *don't* want them back.)

Thank you guys, there seems to be a helpful community here. sorry for the silly question :\ ... :)

peace

Hello,
I don’t think that there is anything to worry about as moles cannot be scrapped off the skin. What you have done is just scrapped off the superficial layers of the skin and once it is healed, then the texture of the skin and the mole should be resumed.
I hope it helps. Take care and please do keep us posted in case you have any additional doubts. Kind regards.
