Help! Torn a Mole Accidently! - Skin Problems Message Board

Selene71 · 11-03-2005, 06:04 AM

While bathing, I accidently scratched a mole, and it's half off. There was a lot of blood, and I have a band-aid on it now--Do I let it heal over, or should I just tear it off completely? It's on my abdomen, and it's about the size of a pencil eraser. It's raised up a bit, and that's probably why I caught it with my fingernail in the first place.

What's the best solution?

Hi Selene,
Just keep it clean, use a little neosporin or something similar and it will take care of itself. I've done it before too. Quite painful when I scratched it halfway off but it eventually healed and the mole fell off.

Thank you for the reply, cookiepls...I hope it does fall off, because it's in an irritating spot anyways.

The blood scared me most--I'd hate to tear the rest off and go through that again.
