Picked off a black mole? Help!

I squeezed, picked and scratched off a 2mm dark spot on my upper thigh. This was two months ago, it has now healed into a pink scar. My worry is that if this dark spot was a malignant mole, have I disguised the evidence or would it have grown back by now? I’m making myself I’ll worrying about this!
