Picked At A Mole!
Hi,
I have had a mole on the left side of my face (just below my mouth) since I was a child. In the last few years, it became raised and sprouts a single hair.
I made a big booboo and squeezed the mole because I thought I saw a black head in it (I think now that it might have just been a hair root or something).
It bled, and now it looks nearly flat, and it is scabbling (which I can't help but pick at). the hair is still growing out of it, and there is a tiny dot remaining of the original mole, just around the hair.
My question is, have I scratched it off? Will it grow back?

I'm curious how things healed for you 9 years out? I have a similar experience and would love to know. Thanks.
